    "Jordon ran quickly to the school." vs "Jordon sprinted to the school."
    "She said it very quietly." vs "She whispered it."
    "A very big piece of skin fell from the body." vs "A huge piece of skin shed the body."
    "He was in very bad trouble." vs "He was in deep trouble."
    "The prices went up and down." vs "The prices fluctuated."
    "They spelled this word incorrectly." vs "They misspelled this word."
    Personally, I think precision is paramount when it comes to writing.
    Thank you, Adam, for elaborating on the topic of writing!
    Best regards from Ukraine!
    Keep up the great work!

      Good job Artem. Just one change:
      "A huge piece of skin was shed by the body." (better: The body shed a huge piece of skin.)

    It' called Simplified English. Most technical documentation, in the aerospace industry at least, is written using these rules, which by the way are a little bit more complicated than you are explaining. The technique includes a set of grammar rules, a vocabulary, and rules about the consruction of the sentences.

      Fair enough, there are of course technical features that can be applied, but this lesson is aimed as general writing tips for those learning to write in English.

    Dear Adam,
    I watch almost all your videos (WTTT, Engvid...) and I often agree with you.
    However, your k.i.s.s. is not very convincing.
    Your example about condolences doesn't seem right to me: the two formulations simply don't say the same thing. The initial sentence explains the context and the feeling, the rewording only gives the information.
    The first sentence (partially) depicts the emotion, the second is dry.
    This is the duality between informational language and literary language.
    But YOU ARE STILL MY FAVOURITE TEACHER on the web.
