Here are some commonly used (not utilized!) words you can eliminate in almost every case:
Event: A sales event is a sale.
Facilities: Manufacturing facilities are plants or factories.
Conditions: Stormy weather conditions are storms.
Activity: Rainfall activity is rain.
Basis: Working on a volunteer basis is volunteering.
Operation: A cleanup operation is cleaning up.
You can see these words add no meaning, carry no weight. After you finish writing, go to your Find function and put in these clichéd words. Read each sentence where you find them and see if you can’t eliminate the deadwood. In almost every case you’ll be able to cut it out.
