  • I will not use negations…
  • I will avoid UA (useless acronyms).
  • When appropriate, my writing will be in an active voice…
  • I will very much try to avoid carefully needless words in my writing.
  • I will employ uncomplicated terms.

Here is a call to my readers: what annoys you about my writing? I vow to improve!
