You don’t have to look far to see examples of words that aren’t needed these days – which is strange because most people know that attention spans are getting shorter and shorter.

I particularly like the Capitalisation where it is not needed.

But this masks a common problem.

Most of us have our own writing problems. Problems which, try as we might, we can’t get over.

(For some of people though – they never knew any different in the first place).

The photograph has 3 words which aren’t needed. OK that’s only 3 words but that’s 30% of the words on the sign.

Can you spot which words aren’t pulling their weight?
