LP chapters

So, I must say that at first, I wasn’t so sure about this LP handbook. But now I’m really starting to like it. The chapters this week provide helpful advice like eliminating wordiness, writing with emphasis, and finding the right words to use. I thought that the Jargon section could really relate to my topic. Since I’m writing about green technology, I’m going to have to be careful about defining words that are particular to that field that some people might not understand. Also, it was interesting how they noted that using jargon when common language is appropriate will just make u sound “self important”.  Also, was it just me or was the examples for slang on page 164 in the yellow LP book hilarious? They said something like “Joey’s ride is totally pimped out”. Who says that and means it? I thought that was funny 😛
