Write In Plain English...Your Writing Must Be Simple... And...
It Must Be Clear!
That means short and simple words, sentences and paragraphs in your*
copy.* Are there any hard and fast rules?* Not really.* I'll give you some
guidelines, though.
****
As far as words, sentences and paragraphs go...don't use a ten-dollar
word when a simple one will work just as well.* Keep your sentences
relatively short... say, 14-17 or less words.* And if you have longer
ones, break them up with ellipsis... or dashes-.
****
As a general rule, paragraphs should not exceed 6 lines.* However, I
usually stay around 2 to 4.* And it's a good idea to mix it up... have*
some one sentence paragraphs...even one or two word paragraphs...
Happy writing folks!!!!
