The Disgustingly Simple Rule for Web Writing That's Often Hard to Swallow

The Disgustingly Simple Rule for Web Writing That’s Often Hard to Swallow

Editor's note: This post was originally published on January 14, 2009. We're bringing it back today because clear, concise writing on the web never goes out of style.

In 1964, Richard Hofstadter wrote a Pulitzer-prize-winning book called Anti-Intellectualism in America. This rich, thorough book exposed the thread of anti-intellectualism that runs through the culture of practical America.

For example, even though the founding fathers were sages, scientists, and men of cultivation, the Federalists attacked their curiosity and idealism as too trivial for important affairs.

Did you know there’s a thread of anti-intellectualism running through good web writing and design? In fact, web usability demands mindless writing and design.
