Service writing style should be based on facts presented in a logical order using plain language with short words, sentences, and paragraphs to attract attention. The style depends on using first or third person courteously along with clear ideas, authorized abbreviations, appropriate short words in context, and logical sentence and paragraph structure. The style also depends on avoiding slang, jargon, officious language, and cliches.
