Show SAY IT WITH PERIODS Long winded speeches or sentences neither attract nor hold. The convincing con-vincing speaker or writer is he or she who deals in periods. Yards and yards or verbal vermicelli may go down but they are never digested. They are not the mental pabulum that tickles the palate for more. You can't bring down big game with a load of buckshot. But you can with one high-powered cartridge. When you speak or write, get to the point. And a good point to remember in writing is the period. |
