Respect writing rules

Adjust your style to the

form of writing

Consider your reader

You don’t have to like their style

Page 28: Business writing purists vs textists: Can we all get along?

Discover the good and

compromise

Page 30: Business writing purists vs textists: Can we all get along?

A casual style keeps your

message simple

Page 31: Business writing purists vs textists: Can we all get along?

A structured approach keeps your message

clear

Page 32: Business writing purists vs textists: Can we all get along?

A compromise of both

keeps your message uniquely yours

Page 33: Business writing purists vs textists: Can we all get along?

There is no right or wrong

Page 34: Business writing purists vs textists: Can we all get along?

Just different
