2. Replace Adjectives With Data

In 1880, Mark Twain wrote, “When you catch an adjective, kill it. No, I don’t mean utterly, but kill most of them—then the rest will be valuable.”

In Amazon's case, don’t kill them -- replace them with data.

For ex:

A ton of Amazon Prime Members - > 98% of Amazon Prime Members

Common adjectives are vague. They don’t help consumers visualize the context.

Data does.

3. Eliminate Weasel Words

Weasel words take away from the story.

If you’re going to use adjectives -- use descriptive adjectives.

NOT interpretive adjectives.
