Brevity

The choices for today are: (1) brevity, (2) bedevil, (3) blabbermouth. The chosen word is brevity.

Twitter (I'll never use the new name) used to be 140 characters which I had always liked and had attempted them but I failed to like the brevity of it and quit. But I liked that people are forced to use shorter means of expression. I think it's hard to pare down what you want to say to 140 characters (which equals to about 28 or more words). I do envy people who can say a lot with a few words.

Do you have any thoughts on brevity?

For tomorrow, the letter C, the choices are (1) constant, (2) cups, (3) criminal. Choose which word I might ramble about or tell a story.

  1. I'm not longer on Twitter (and it's replacement) but am on BlueSky where we do have a limit. It's always interesting to see what can be said. As to the A-Z, I try to keep my posts short.

  4. I prefer short posts. I can’t get through the long-winded ones. I vote for criminal.

  5. Brevity (and clarity) can be surprisingly difficult to achieve in tandem.
    I vote for criminal tomorrow.
