Brevity is good for some things.
A long description full of descriptive adjectives is absolutely critical for certain types of writing that require you to literally paint a picture of scenery, emotion, and dialogue.
Know what you're writing.

- mbrock 13y agoBrevity isn't always a time-saver in technical writing, either. Sometimes it's confusing and ambiguous. Just consider that your words are real things that other people are going to encounter. Those people are often likely to be stressed, confused, or even angry – especially if you're making a web page. Is your user someone who has a problem that they want to solve right now? Then be as clear as you possibly can. Don't try to be funny or clever. Don't even try to be exceptionally brief!
