I never noticed excessive fat in your writing but I'll be watching out for it if there's a chance of winning a good book. Hi Monika – This is a great competition idea.

It makes sentences shorter and smarter. Been practicing the idea since January. Great observation. Hi there, trimming fatty words is a good idea. It makes sentences shorter and smarter.

I appreciate you took the time to stop over. I know how busy most of us are. I just read your post too, it is very well written. Your English teacher must have been a very clever man. What he said makes perfect sense. You also managed to demonstrate this rather well, so thank you for doing this. Nothing drives a point home stronger than an actual exercise. :-) @ Daniel: It’s ok, you are here now, aren’t you? I appreciate you took the time to stop over. I know how busy most of us are.

I thought so myself and it fits the message well I think. Just like you said I think a lot of paper clutter could actually be saved by eliminating fatty words. It isn't just great for the looks of the written product but also for the environment. Maybe we should con it "green writing". ;-) @ Brett: Isn’t the monster kind of cute?
