Bertrand Russell on How to Write…

Sage advice from Bertrand Russell on "How to Write". It comes down to a very few simple aphorims reproduced here for your reading pleasure:

1 – Never use a long word if a short word will do.

2 – If you want to make a statement with a great many qualifications, put some of the qualifications in seperate sentences.

3 – Do not let the beginning of your sentence lead the reader to an expectation which is contradicted by the end.
