Imprecise writing, what is not useful, LENR theory?
Imprecise writing can lead to misunderstandings and misinterpretations, and can even undermine your credibility. Imprecise writing can be due to using vague terms, or using words with multiple meanings.
Here are some tips for writing more precisely:
- Avoid using imprecise words, such as "thing". Instead, be as specific as possible.
- Avoid using vague terms, such as "approximately".
- Avoid using words with multiple meanings, such as "equivocation".
- Write in active voice, rather than passive.
- Cut out adverbs.
- Rewrite sentences starting with "There is" and "There are".
- Recast "of the" constructions as possessive.
- Avoid overuse of "that" in a sentence.
- Turn nouns into verbs.
- Resist rewriting data presented in a figure or table.
