Too much  writing Common Problem:
& writing  Too small It was one of those summery days when the air is heavy and warm and nobody wants to do very much.    Jonathan  and  Robbit  were resting on top of one of Moley's hummocks, relaxing and watching the rest of the world go by. Jonathan could feel the sun's warmth through his shell and it was making him feel comfortable and drowsy. He wriggled contentedly. Last night, before he'd gone to bed, Jonathan had taken off his shell and given it a special polish, and this morning it gleamed in the sunlight. Beside him on the soft warm molehill, Robbit lay on his back, his paws behind his head, gazing up at the clear blue sky, thinking about things in his own rabbity way.  "Why do nettles have stings?" He asked suddenly  Jonathan had just begun to doze off, and woke with a start  "Why do nettles have what?" He asked, not quite awake.  "Stings," Robbit scratched one of his ears in a comfortable, absent-minded sort of way.  Jonathan pondered, his head tilted to one side as he thought.  "I suppose," He said eventually, "They have stings so nobody will eat them."  "That's silly," Said Robbit, "Nobody'd want to eat a rotten old nettle, anyway: they're all tough and stringy."

Common  Mistake: People tend to put every word they are going to say on their PowerPoint slides. Although this eliminates the need to memorise your talk, ultimately this makes your slides crowded, wordy, and boring.
