Language

Language is an integral part of technical communication. As a technical communicator, it is important to use language correctly and efficiently so that the document is usable. Language involves both visual and verbal language involved in documents. It is important to keep in mind who our audience is so that both are used correctly. Certain symbols may mean two different things in different languages.

Technical communicators should never be wordy when writing documents since it is important to make the documents understandable and efficient.

Since I would be considered a novice communicator, I would use the advice of peers and professionals along with usability tests to determine the correct language use.

The document Lee provided did use good language overall, but there were sections that I found to clumped together which could have been formatted to be more easily understood.
