Using Items In A Series: How It Affects Meaning

When you write a sentence, you always have the option of using multiple items for various elements, such as verbs, adjectives and definitions.  The number of items you choose do more than affect sentence length — they also add meaning to it.

Why Use Strong Words?

Writing teachers will always tell you to use strong words whenever possible.  That’s because strong nouns and verbs can improve both the clarity of a sentence and its structure.

Catch-All Terms That Promote Wordiness

One of the common causes of wordiness is a writer’s propensity to use generic, catch-all terms to refer to a concept better expressed by another word.  As a result, they spend additional phrases and clauses trying to explain exactly what the catch-all term means.
