20 Limit helps you write brief and clear sentences by limiting your word count to 20.
The limitation is only a suggestion.
20 Limit does not record or save content.
The Oxford Guide to Plain English recommends a sentence length of between 15 and 20 words.
"One reason for keeping to a 15-20 word average is that people are used to it," it states.
The guide references a 1960's study, which found the average sentence length to be 19 words.
While we've progressed since then, being succinct remains important.
