I think this is true. Another way of saying it might be to write things intentionally and make sure each sentence contributes to a goal. You can have humor and personality in the paper, but make sure you don't have filler or meaningless words that you're just writing off as personality.
I love when a document is easy to read and is thorough.
Side rant: I hate when people use an acronym in a document and never state what the acronym stands for. Take the extra 10 seconds and type it out the first time you use it with the acronym version in parentheses directly after.
- Gaessaki 4y agoI think you phrased it well. The distinction I wanted to make is that it's more about clarity of thought than absolute brevity.
- euroderf 4y agoAn acronym glossary up front is often helpful. But the current practice seems to be to add copious whitespace until it fills two or three pages, when a fraction of that would suffice.
