Murder your darlings: Difference between revisions

*'' ... ([[including, without limitation]] ...)'': logically does not, and cannot, add or subtract from the general expression. It is either the statement of the logically inevitable (if the stated instance indeed is an example of the general expression) or it is flat out wrong (if it is not) - in which case ''change the general expression''.

**'''Example''': don't define “[[Tax]]” if all you mean by it is ''any tax, duty, excise, deduction, witholding, impost. [... improvise freely] ... or levy imposed by a competent authority having power to tax...''. If your construction will, you know, ''show up on the Google'' as a synonym for “tax”, then write “tax”.  

* ''... [[unless otherwise agreed]] by the parties'': This is true of every English law {{tag|contract}} there ever was. The clue is the definition of “{{tag|contract}}”. It’s ''an agreement between the parties''.
