“Etkili yazı kısa ve öz olandır. Cümlede gereksiz tek bir sözcük, paragrafta gereksiz tek bir cümle bulunmamalıdır. Aynı nedenlerden ötürü, çizimlerde gereksiz tek bir çizgi ve makinelerde gereksiz parça olmamalıdır. Bu, metni yazan kişinin mutlaka her cümlesini kısa tutması veye her türlü ayrıntıdan kaçınması, konuları özet geçmesi demek değildir.Yazar kullandığı her cümlenin bir amaca hizmet ettiğinden emin olmalıdır.”
