term: minimalism #36

This was originally proposed for dropping by @vinishgarg . I second the motion. This shouldn't even need a third motion because the term is too non-descript in relation to content. A lot of things can be minimalist, and for the most part they all concern design, the visual aspects. Sure, content can be visual too — size, color, typeface, layout... but that's more design thinking. I'd argue minimalism is better suited to a UX design glossary, not this one. There would certainly be overlapping terms between the two glossaries, but this term wouldn't be one of them.

Furthermore, it's too general of a term as is. If someone wanted to argue adding this, what would be a more content-specific way of saying it? Minimal content? Sounds like a word count. Content minimalism? Just sounds like good, clear, concise writing.
