… if it were half as long?
Too many professional communicators write messages, paragraphs, sentences and words that are hard to read and understand.
According to 130 years of readability research:
- The more you write, the less readers read.
- The more information you give people, the less likely they are to be able to do what you want them to do with it.
- The longer your paragraph, the more likely readers are to skip it.
- The longer your sentence, the less readers understand.
- The longer and more jargony your words, the less readers read and understand.
