Wikipedia

  1. Concision

    Concision (also called brevity, laconicism, or conciseness) is a writing principle of eliminating redundancy.For example, a sentence of "It is a fact that most arguments must try to convince readers, that is the audience, that the arguments are true." may be expressed more concisely as "Most arguments must demonstrate their truth to readers." – the observations that the statement is a fact and that readers are its audience are redundant, and it is unnecessary to repeat the word "arguments" in the sentence.
