You shld consider yr target audience & standards of industry. Eg: Don’t sound like
a medical text if your site is for teens #atomicchat
Christina Vasilevski @cvasilevski
Hard to answer. You may need adjectives/adverbs for the right message. REAL
question: do your modifiers add value or not? #atomicchat
Christina Vasilevski @cvasilevski
I keep copy tight by rereading, and more importantly, reading ALOUD. You catch
SO MANY ERRORS when reading aloud. #AtomicChat
Christina Vasilevski @cvasilevski
Crutch words are the words you overuse to fill up space when you’re trying to
figure out what to say. #atomicchat
Christina Vasilevski @cvasilevski
Big crutch word culprits include: really, very, extremely, actually, focus/focus on,
quite, technically, absolutely #atomicchat
Rachel Miller @rachelloumiller
Reading level, industry buzzwords, general understanding/brand awareness of
the product/service. #AtomicChat
Joe Gullo @joegullo
Consider your audience in terms of jargon. Try explaining complex ideas. Shows
industry knowledge and easy read for others. #atomicchat

Put your piece on a diet. Where’s the fat? What can you cut w/o diluting the
message? #AtomicChat
Matt LaCasse @MattLaCasse
Crutch words are words you lean on. They infect your writing like a virus. Once
you notice them, impossible to ignore them. #AtomicChat
Matt LaCasse @MattLaCasse
Literally. Like. So. #TheseAreAFewOfMyLeastFavoriteThings #AtomicChat

Different audiences need varying degrees of technicality in writing. Some can
handle industry lingo, others need an intro #atomicchat
The Gary J. Nix® @Mr_McFly
When descriptive words overshadow or overtake your idea/story, you’ve jumped
the proverbial shark. #AtomicChat
Victor Garcia @EducationNews1
Crutch words are those you use to save time but do not add value. #AtomicChat
Wakefly @wakefly
Really, extremely, proven. Anything that exaggerates or excessively emphasizes
