The invisible actor

A notice says something will be handled without saying by whom.

Short journal · Original editorial · Words that carry their weight

A notice says something will be handled without saying by whom.

Clear writing connects an action with its purpose. A concrete noun and a useful verb often reveal what a vague assurance hides. Revise for the reader's task, and keep deliberate ambiguity only where it serves the piece.

Name the responsible role when that information is known.

Do not confuse a tidy description with a useful result. Look at what the next reader or participant can actually do.
