<P>When writing text for others to read, try and write directly to your audience.</P>

<P>Explain your ideas as clearly and simply as you can to help avoid misunderstandings.
|
|
|
|
One thing you can do is to avoid long words when a short one will do.</P>

<P>In the forums it will really help to keep your whole posts short and on-topic.
|
|
|
|
Instead of one long rambling post that makes many different points, it may be
|
|
|
|
better to write several shorter ones (they may even belong in separate forums).

<P>Re-edit your text as much as necessary until you get it right.
|
|
|
|
Even in forum posts you have <?PHP echo ($CFG->maxeditingtime/60) ?> minutes
|
|
|
|
after you've posted it to go back and improve it if necessary.</P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>When replying to others, try and think of interesting questions you
|
2002-12-15 10:31:33 +00:00
|
|
|
can ask them. This will help both you and the other person think (and learn!)
|
|
|
|
about the subject you are discussing.</P>
