There are lots of places we, as writers, use unnecessary words, but here are a few common phrases we can get in the habit of hacking:

• in order to   ->  can always be “to”
• located in   ->   can always be “in”
• located at  ->  can always be “at”
• 7 different types  ->  can always be “7 types” (the reader typically assumes multiples are different)
• panoramic view   ->  can always be “panorama”
• close proximity   ->  can always be “proximity”

 Happy Tuesday!
