Ahem. I have a copy of Strunk & White on my desk. I never open it, but I've got it.

So.

Short paragraphs.

With blank lines to indicate paragraphs.

Okay.

I can do that.

Would you also like a syllabic count?

Long words confuse people, you know.

Besides, short words have more punch, are pithier.

I know a whole bunch of words like that. Words with four letters. Words like "four" and "five" and "nine."

Hemingway knew about this. We called him "Ernie." It had fewer syllables than "Hemingway." Ernie used to tell us, "Eschew polysyllabication, it obfuscates your limning." And he was right.
