The purpose of "good writing" is clear communication. Attempts at brevity, done properly, result in removing fluff and unnecessary details, leaving the key points intact and making them the clear focus. Done improperly, they result in incomplete or mangled communication, with key points missing or inadequately explained.
Be brief, but clear.
- kalid 17y ago@grellas, @lotharbot, great points. Yep, the goal of writing is to communicate an idea -- brevity is a tactic. I love this quote by Einstein: Things should be as simple as possible, but not more so. If something is truly necessary, then keep it, but be strict about what is needed.
