Welcome to another astonishing episode of Word Woman's Weekly Work-Out! Long, cold winter evenings are great for curling up with a good book. Word Woman's choice, naturally, would be a dictionary and here's an entry designed to enliven your conversation:
Succinct: marked by compact, precise expression without wasted words (a succinct description)
"succinct", http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/succinct?show=0&t=1294287228 , 1/6/11
Example: When his teacher confronted him with the fact that his essay was three pages short of the required minimum length for the assignment, Ryan asserted that he should not be penalized for being succinct.
