# Quick-Pass Editing Checks
|
||||
|
||||
## Word-Level Checks
|
||||
|
||||
**Cut these words:**
|
||||
- Very, really, extremely, incredibly (weak intensifiers)
|
||||
- Just, actually, basically (filler)
|
||||
- In order to (use "to")
|
||||
- That (often unnecessary)
|
||||
- Things, stuff (vague)
|
||||
|
||||
**Replace these:**
|
||||
|
||||
| Weak | Strong |
|
||||
|------|--------|
|
||||
| Utilize | Use |
|
||||
| Implement | Set up |
|
||||
| Leverage | Use |
|
||||
| Facilitate | Help |
|
||||
| Innovative | New |
|
||||
| Robust | Strong |
|
||||
| Seamless | Smooth |
|
||||
| Cutting-edge | New/Modern |
|
||||
|
||||
**Watch for:**
|
||||
- Adverbs (usually unnecessary)
|
||||
- Passive voice (switch to active)
|
||||
- Nominalizations (verb → noun: "make a decision" → "decide")
|
||||
|
||||
## Sentence-Level Checks
|
||||
|
||||
- One idea per sentence
|
||||
- Vary sentence length (mix short and long)
|
||||
- Front-load important information
|
||||
- Max 3 conjunctions per sentence
|
||||
- No more than 25 words (usually)
|
||||
|
||||
## Paragraph-Level Checks
|
||||
|
||||
- One topic per paragraph
|
||||
- Short paragraphs (2-4 sentences for web)
|
||||
- Strong opening sentences
|
||||
- Logical flow between paragraphs
|
||||
- White space for scannability
