I write letters to the editor of my local newspaper.
The newspaper arbitrarily limits letters to 300 words, and the newspaper web site strictly
enforces the word-limit. At first I was annoyed, but annoyance turned to satisfaction when my
letters became more concise and more effective.

Some of these letters do not reach a newspaper, but most follow the 300 word limit.
