Checklist: How To Use Language Efficiently

  • Use familiar words, easy to follow sentences, and straightforward syntax.
  • Root out unbiased language.
  • Avoid unnecessary jargon.
  • Use fewer rather than more words to express your thoughts.
  • Make striking comparisons with similes, metaphors and analogies.
  • Use the "active" voice.
  • Repeat key words, phrases, or sentences at various intervals (anaphora).
  • Experiment with alliteration.
  • Experiment with parallelism.
