Communicating with Precision

Precise Wording

4. Avoid cluttered constructions.

This category includes redundancies, repetitions, and "there is/are" and "it is" constructions.

Redundancies
combine/join together fill completely unite as one
finish entirely refer/return/revert back to emphasize/stress strongly
examine (closely) suddenly interrupt better/further enhance
eventually evolve over time strictly forbid rely/depend heavily
plan ahead harshly condemn protest against
completely surround on all sides estimate/approximate roughly gather/assemble together
clearly  articulate carefully consider successfully prove
future plan mutual agreement years of age
in actual fact positive benefits end result/product
