Writing style

Something that intrigued me today:
Consider these words of wisdom from the classic little guide to writing English, "The Elements of Style":
"Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts."
This tip should be useful for us in writing for day to day purposes, blogging, writing white papers and articles... maynot be for exams where marks are directly proportional to the number of pages!
