Sometimes I'll look at a sentence and apply that exact rule.. I've never actually heard of it though.

I think the quote goes something like, "Brevity is the soul of wit," and based on your analysis, Mike and I - well, we leave something to be desired. But hey, we're designers, so sometimes it's tough to keep our left brains out of the conversation.
