The scientific and technical literature is often poorly written, and one particular defect is the frequent stating of the obvious, which leads authors to use many unnecessary words, placing a burden on the reader’s brain. Here I present a text before and after correction, showing that, whatever the subject may be, the reader’s brain will assume that you are referring to that subject unless you write otherwise. Apply this principle to help you eliminate unnecessary words in every manuscript you write, and you will be a better writer. |
