You can speak concisely, or prefer concise writing, but not quite with concision. I prefer conciseness? Conciquity? Concisement? Why is there no noun for this word??

    Concision is a regular and unexceptional word, but I think brevity has a slightly different connotation: “concision” implies that you’ve carefully phrased things to convey the most information in the fewest words, while “brevity” can imply that you’ve just left stuff out.
