Grammer Post #1

Word Economy
One of the hardest parts of grammar for me would have to be the understanding of "word economy". My last English teacher really stressed the importance of Word Economy in a essay. Word Economy is basically acknowledging the amount of filler word you are incorporating into you sentence structure. After writing a paragraph or so revising it by proof reading out loud will really make the filler words stand out dramatically. After removing all the filler and applying more descriptive wording as needed the sentence begins to have a full complete idea. F personally thought it was one of the best writing/grammar tips i have ever heard of and apply it into my writing every time I write a essay. I hope that you will be able to use this skill in your writing as well.
