Best Answer

Effective writing is concise. You can be concise by dropping unnecessary words from phrases or sentences. Every word should tell. There is no reason to call a spade "a long handed instrument for turning earth in a garden." Here are some examples of verbal deadwood drawn from Philippine newspapers and inter-office memoranda:

affixed his signature - signed

at the present time - now

held a conference - met

in the immediate vicinity - near

for the reason that - because

tendered his resignation - resigned

told his listeners - said

united in holy matrimony - married

used for fuel purposes - fueled

was able to make his escape - escaped

In the following samples, the words in italics should be omitted:

advanced prediction

a period of two weeks

definitely decided

fatal killing

final conclusion

free gift

new recruits

other alternative

past history
