Grammar
A reader asks: In today’s fast paced world, the idea is to get to the point (as quickly) as possible. Is it wrong to cut words out of a sentence as long as the message is clear and understood?I see this as an impossibility, i.e., both to cut out words and to preserve lucidity. I see things every day that are written so poorly that I can’t understand what the author is trying to express. Yes, we live in a fast-paced world, but this kind of stuff slows us all down.
In addition, bad grammar communicates to the reader/listener that you’re uneducated. If that’s not a problem for you, go for it, but it’s not a statement I would deliberately make about myself.
