Word Length

Word length is a good gauge of readability, and every writer should aim to be read. In readable writing, most words are short. A message containing an average of 1,5 syllables per word is considered to be very readable.

Don't try to show off your knowledge by using long, complicated words. Remem­ber that Lincoln's Gettysburg Adress consisted of 267 words, 202 of which had only one syllable.
