    Thanks for the summary. I'm starting to doubt myself... I think the adverb is "loudly" at 4:40.

    Qualifiers are necessary for explaining where something comes from - your state of mind. Most people are in doubt most of the time about everything even if they won't admit it. Qualifiers also help differentiate between an opinion and a fact. You can't state something as fact when it is just your opinion. Too many writers act as if they know something when they don't, this is fraud. It's okay to not to know, it's not okay to lie and say you do.

    Zinsser makes some great points, but I feel a bit iffy about relentlessly cutting and optimising "unnecessary" words. At a certain point it starts to feel a bit like "Newspeak" in 1984, where everything is simplified and reduced to minimal levels and everyone sounds the same.
    I guess it's a matter of degree and personal choice as to what and how far you cut.

  • @jimjr4432
    @jimjr4432 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Love the video, thank you. Am I wrong in suggesting that at 4:50 the adverb is 'loudly' as the verb is 'blared'? So would the circled word be 'loudly'? Also, although I enjoyed this vide and Mr. Zinsser's advice, now good writing is racist, just axe some people. Cheers.

    I just finished listening to his book The Confident Mind a couple weeks ago. Edited to add this: I picked up the audiobook based on another Productivity Game video about it: th-cam.com/video/ERmsWZ-qw-w/w-d-xo.html

    Good points but some of them are not useful for scientific writing. Actually you may need to do the opposite. Nonetheless, thank you for the review and video. I enjoy them very much.

  • @lizziebkennedy7505

    Readers who hate “unnecessary” words? This is not for Literary fiction writers, then. Or 19th century classics’ authors. If you are writing how to manuals for shop classes, this is awesome. If you care about craft or story, read Zinsser’s other books, where he is nothing like this behaviouralist and technocratic. Prose that wins Pulitzers is nothing like this instrumental. Think what kind of opening would hook your reader. But aren’t you the reader you were advised to write to? 😈

  • @Mediaright

    Also, the reason you use redundant adjectives (the radio blared loudly) is because readers most-often aren't paying full attention, especially in modern-times. Redundancy can help bolster communication. Then if they miss one key word, they're not missing the point of the sentence.

    Utter crap. Should be called "How to Talk to Your CEO." Qualifiers enable us to communicate the truth. They're only "unreadable" when politicians try to stack them and wiggle out of commitments. Saying "I think" reflects that this isn't a studied fact, it's a personal opinion. What is this guy high on?
