What’s wrong with long sentences?

25/5/2020

People understand me, why improve my vocabulary?

20/5/2020

 

We like variety and we like interest.

Using the same words multiple times create a monotonous text which quickly loses its impact.

Image if all plants were the same green; gardens would quickly lose their attraction, beauty and charm.

I don’t have time to check my writing. Why should I worry?

15/5/2020

 

Nobody likes to read an email, letter or report which is longer than necessary.

Worse still, errors, omissions or irregularities not only irritate readers they reflect your character. If there are errors, can people trust you? If your writing does not make sense, readers doubt your abilities.

Respect your reader and they will admire you.
