They are two separate skills. One of the factors on which good writing is judged (in English) is precision. When you use 30 words where 10 would suffice, you are out of the running immediately. Raphael Vassallo’s writing obfuscates. An example of good writing: Mark Anthony Falzon in The Sunday Times.]
