There is a very unique website that is definitely a game-changer when it comes to examining unnecessary phrases used by journalists.

The name of the website gets right to the point: Unnecessary Journalism Phrases. The author, Josh Sternberg, has introduced a new and innovative way of bringing needed attention to our desire to complicate sentences.

For all intents and purposes, the lessons offered on Unnecessary Journalism Phrases should help writers eliminate the unwanted, undesirable flowery fluff.

Writers love to babble. Writers fall in love with clichés. Writers fall in love with themselves and the words that are put to paper.

For what it’s worth, writers are often wordsmiths on steroids.

But as Unnecessary Journalism Phrases proves; more doesn’t translate into better.

This website might completely destroy some writers’ egos.

This website doesn’t blend together ideas from other experts. Indeed, it gets straight to the point.

During the course of this course many of you have heard complaints about the abundance of unnecessary phrases and words in your stories and essays. The American people are enamored with useless words to express themselves. This isn’t just a trend – it’s a current trend.

Never before has a website, shown us just how wordy we can be.

For the uncertain future we will have to live with the extra phrase or word. But in order to change this avoidable habit, writers must rely on brevity. Moving forward, writers should keep it short and sweet.

Due to the fact, it is tough to break ourselves of this epidemic of wordiness a person familiar with the matter suggests we keep it simple.

This might possibly be the toughest task asked of any writer. But if we don’t change our ways we are in serious danger of killing the written word.

At the end of the day, it should be a priority of every writer to eliminate these useless and unnecessary linguistic crutches that exist in our lives.

So I ask the question: Can you find the unnecessary phrases in this essay?
