From reading Stephanie Wytovich’s blog entitled Think, or be burned by the consequences, it managed to re-establish what I had said in my own blog, about carefully choosing your words.
What I really got out of these chapters are that words tell, and you don’t need a lot of them to do the job. Pick wisely, and pick those with meaning.
However, it also led me to question what words have the most meaning? And why are they more meaningful then others? Yes, I can understand how the use of journalese can make an article seem somewhat childish, but maybe there are readers who want/like a fun fresh article.
