I am Stephanie Quillen, and today I’d like to discuss my ideas on the importance of the economy of words. Economy is defined as: Careful management of resources to avoid unnecessary expenditure or waste. Or simply put: saving. When communicating, our words are our prime resource; how we deliver our message is how we manage our resources. Economy of words is making the most of your message, by eliminating any unnecessary components such as repetition of words, phrases or ideas, and run on sentences. Too much of anything is a waste this applies especially in communicating. Too many words take away from the intended message. I have heard many speakers who ramble on and off topic for far too long, to eventually conclude with “What I mean by all this is…” In their quest to add meaning, they inadvertently rob their original message of its power. Here are two different portrayals of the same message: 1) You only have one life to live before you die 2) You only live once Both sentences carry the same message but the first statement loses power along the way. It is common sense that anything that lives will eventually die so the last 3 words in the 1st sentence are just waste. Then we are left with “You only have one life to live.” This is a clearer message but can be cleaned up even further. Saying that we have one LIFE to LIVE is repetitive. We do not need both the noun and verb form of one word to get the point across. “You Only Live Once.” This simply put statement hits much harder than the drug out version in #1. Words carry their own meaning and can only hold momentum when going straight forward. This is especially true when managing your online presence. In Networking, blogoing and microbogging, online audiences are looking to obtain speedy information without having to read between the lines. Microblogging sites, for example Twitter, limits bloggers to a maximum of 150 characters. By doing this bloggers are forced to keep their word choices limited to importance and relevance of the topic.
