Grammar.
Today I read an article written by three Ph.D. scientists. The first two paragraphs exclusively used passive voice. Most people, education notwithstanding, write poorly.
I plan to improve both my work and leisure writing. I plan to eliminate passive voice and to stop ending sentences with prepositions. I plan to read Strunk & White's Elements of Style. I plan to eliminate unnecessary words.
Editing saves words and facilitates comprehension.
