Writing On- and Offline

Do you take care to avoid wordiness in your writing? Consult this part of The Elements of Style and answer the following:

1		Do you use any of these common expressions in your writing? Has the phrase "the fact that" crept its way into your writing? Do you overuse "who is" and "which was"?

Look up the word "revise."

2		What do the word's roots literally mean? Do you follow this literal meaning before handing in your papers?
