Eliminate Redundancies for Fat Free Writing

�2002 By Linda Elizabeth Alexander

Engaging writing is concise. How many times have we been

told to "write tight" (be concise) rather than

verbosely? The following are a mere 25 examples of

redundant phrases. When used properly, alternatives to

these phrases can cut much of the fat out of your

business communication, leaving it leaner, tighter, and

less verbose.

Instead of ? (why?) ? Use this

1. 12 noon (noon is always at 12) noon

2. 12 midnight (midnight is always at 12) midnight

3. added bonus bonus

4. and also and or also

5. advance notice (notice is advance) notice

6. ask the question ask

7. ATM machine (M stands for machine) ATM

8. current status status

9. close proximity near

10. end result result

11. filled to capacity filled

12. first and foremost first

13. free gift free or gift

14. future plans (already in the future) plans

15. general consensus consensus

16. join together join

17. month of October October

18. mutual agreement drop "mutual"

19. new development development

20. past experience experience

21. past history (history is always in the past) history

22. period of time time
