Just **** that I see in my job that involves a lot of blogging, emails, policy, copy, and local journalism.
1. Capitalizing terms that they think are important. That **** is a salesman's smile. I'm trying to trick everyone here and that nonsense shuts people off. It draws attention, but it also detracts from the very important detail.
2. O....h my go,d the f,uck,ing,,,commas. I almost wish that commas didn't exist.
3. "May" for easy compliance instead of using straightforward language. I edit that **** out.
4. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No. Bad writing. Stop.
5. Senile mother****ers writing legal material that we have to spend 1-2 hours of discussion per section to understand. At least it's usually good legal advice though, they just know **** all about writing (or talking) in any way that's communicable.
6. Double spaces.
