Note to officials during World War II

Written By Colleen Trolove

Do you think that in the old days, people were okay with formal, difficult writing?

Winston Churchill wasn't. 

During World War 2, he wrote a memo titled Brevity.

My favourite line from this memo? 'Let us not shrink from using the short expressive phrase, even if it is conversational.'
