Economy of Words



Economy or words

Hello my name is Norrison Morgan and I am personal trainer in Rocky Mount N.C, I am also a student at Kaplan University. I am also a new blogger, I will be blogging about tips on how to loose weight and get healthy in addition healthy recipes that I learned over the years of living a healthy lifestyle. But today I would like to share a term that not related to health but it is an important term when it comes to blogging and that term is “economy of words  

The word economy comes from a Greek word oikomos, this word means managing ones household and or acting administrator. It also means management of one’s resources, carefully managing money, labor, and material. This is word is something that is thrown around a lot these day in the media on how the government is spending the revenue that they collect from tax payers.

Economy of words is based on the same principle as managing money, labor, and material, only in this regard it is managing words wisely. This is a good method if you are blogging on sites that only allow 140 characters or less, so you have to make every word count to get your point across.

Plus using words unwisely makes you look like an armature writer, for example, run on sentences, passive verbs, repeating the same words in close proximity of each other, and repeating the same ideas in the same paragraph, the idea is to be conservative with your words.
