The time has come to wrap yourself in the warm, gooey embrace of cheese, settle into a heavenly array of toppings, and chomp down on some comforting crust. That’s right. October is National Pizza Month. People don’t really need a special month for pizza in a country where there are an estimated 63,000 pizzerias and 94% of Americans eat pizza at least once a month. At American Language Services we celebrated it by having a pizza party — even though we’re sure most of us celebrate privately at least once a week.

- Avoid long noun strings.
- Use just one term to identify a single concept.
