"Beware the elongated yellow fruit. Have no unreasonable fear of repetition...The story is told of a feature writer who was doing a piece on the United Fruit Company. He spoke of bananas once; he spoke of bananas twice; he spoke of bananas yet a third time, and now he was desperate. "The world's leading shippers of the elongated yellow fruit," he wrote. A fourth 'bananas' would have been better."

-James J. Kilpatrick

In promulgating your esoteric cogitations or articulating you superficial sentimentalities, and amicable philosophical or psychological observations, beware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let your conversational communications possess a clarified conciseness, and a concatenated cogency, eschew all conglomerations of garrulity, jejune babblement, and affectations. Let your extemporaneous descantings and unpremeditated expatiations have intelligibility and voracious vivacity, without rodomontade or thrasonical bombast. Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic profundity, pompous prolificacy, ventriloquial verbosity, and vain vapidity. In other words, say what you mean, mean what you say - and don't use big words!
