Common Writing Errors: Quick Reference Guide to words that get swapped

These tables include a long list of words that have commonly been misused in technical writing and reports. Occasionally it happens within a group that misuse of a term becomes so common that every new person who joins the group will start to use the incorrect term, too! Fun for group bonding, but can look unprofessional when it is seen outside the group.

If you have any questions about any of these or would like to discuss, write me at christabedwin at gmail.com, or contact me through LinkedIn. You will also find that if you Google specific combinations from this list, many a grammarian has written articles about these troubles. This blog post merely offers a quick reference guide.

Bonus points and/or a discount on editing services if you find the Scottish-sounding typo in these tables. :)

You just won’t get the same level of analysis from a room full of literature majors, who have been trained in a completely different way of thinking. I love the engineering approach to language. Engineers are taught to invent, to innovate, to question. And isn’t that essentially exactly the same process editors go through when they edit? Ergo, if you ask me, editors

Replacements for Wordy Phrases: Short and Simple Language for Clean Clear Writing

At universities and in high school English classes, there is sometimes a perception that whoever uses the longest or most words looks smartest.  However, in industry, whoever makes the client happiest by having the easiest, clearest documents, looks best!   Unfortunately, technical writing is not poetry.  In fact, sometimes, when I'm editing the technical writing of Spanish or French first-language speakers, I find myself revising particularly beautiful, flowery phrases to something much more boring.  But technical clients just want simplicity. Let your diagrams and your data speak for themselves.  Here’s a nice logical if-then statement for you:  If the document is easy  for your client to digest  Then they will think  that you are brilliant.  Achieve this by:  using short words  using fewer words  Use Fewer Words  There are some words that you can search in a document to discover wordy phrases. “Of” and “for” and “as” often appear in these unnecessarily long phrases.
