Jerry Seinfeld
Comedy Legend
There is no such thing as attention span.
There is only the quality of what you are
viewing… People have an infinite
attention span if you are entertaining
them.
Each piece of content should be as
long as necessary to cover the
topic, and not one word longer.
6. WORDS that keep things simple

• Longer (polysyllabic)
• Fancy, proper
Examples

Latinate words

• Less formal
• Short (often monosyllabic)
• Forceful, direct
Examples
get, send, build, stop, put, mock, set
