8. F E A T U R E S : What to Expect
The Manuscript: A Clear, Crisp and Clean Writing Style
Kyril Jardinico will produce clear, clean, and crisp manuscripts. His style can be summed up by the following:
Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a
drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short,
or that he avoid all detail and treat his subjects only in outline, but that every word tell.
— Elementary Principles of Composition, William Strung (1918). The Elements of Style
The opposite—a fuzzy, wordy, and disorderly manuscript—can result in the production of a defective product and can
also compromise the integrity of the company to its customers.
Kyril Jardinico’s writing style
can be characterized as using
the simplest words to convey
the most complex ideas.

description of the objective but he will also describe the purpose of that
same objective. For instance, if he is going to write a procedure on
forecasting using Excel, he will identify the purpose of forecasting—the
tool that companies use to know their financial position in the future.
This description is important because users are now given the chance to
contribute to the process and, perhaps, come up with more efficient
methods that they can add to the instructions. After all, there is more
than one way to get from Philadelphia to Tampa; and there are multiple
ways to solve a problem. Users are now given a chance to produce better
solutions.

Social media allows users and
management to see Kyril’s assignment

feedback and early detection of errors.
Use of Social Media: User Feedback
If soliciting user feedback is an objective, then social media websites such
as Facebook provide a great opportunity to gather such information.
Naturally, private settings first need to be set. And once that is
implemented, Kyril Jardinico is now given the chance to peruse user
comments, opinions, and suggestions while maintaining confidentiality.
The user can ask questions, which Kyril will research for the answer. But
the most important feature of this tool is the ability for Kyril to post
documentation in the website as if it were a note or a blog. This posting
will allow users and management to see his work in progress allowing for
early feedback and detection of errors in the documentation drafts.
