The Beauty of Less

The beauty of less.
Not of skin, but of words.
This resonates more and more deeply with every essay that i mark. Ha.
I simply cannot understand why people see that urging need to use pompous words, when delivery with simple, clear English will more than suffice.
We write to be understood first. Then to impress.
We don't write to confuse. Then HOPING to impress with whatever nonsensical what-not concocted to drag the mind through a journey of oz.
Make every word count. No more. No less.
And my marking becomes a pleasure.
Hark. I think insanity from marking has set in. Because i have just asked for more than the impossible.
