Original practice · Optional exercise · Words that carry their weight

Choose a low-stakes example you can change without affecting another person’s private information or commitments.

  1. Describe the current situation in one sentence. The example here is: A specialist word appears before the reader has a reason to know it.
  2. Give a plain explanation at the moment it becomes useful.
  3. Compare the result with the difficulty you named. Write one concrete observation.
  4. Keep, adapt, or stop the experiment. A note about why you stopped is a valid result.
