Short words and phrases tend to be more vivid and easier to read, making them an advantage in communication. They also eliminate non-essential words and can clarify sentence structure. Redundancies should not be added as they add unnecessary words. "It is" and "There are" starters should also be avoided as they lead to wordy sentences.
