@nipunmehra Thanks Nipun. Churchill issued this memo on "Brevity" in August 1940 and its still relevant, particularly in the 280 character world of Twitter.
@nipunmehra I thing this email does not follow most of their Amazonian writing advises. Optimistic in me says they improvised after below June email :o
@nipunmehra Thanks for sharing this simple yet effective approach!
@nipunmehra @rvivek @bhaveshraheja Is it where you got those amazing documenting skills? :-)
@nipunmehra @ktkaushik Brilliant. This teaching should be mandatory at all companies. Reminds me of my favourite writing advice - "Omit needless words". (from "The elements of style", the Bible on better writing.)
@nipunmehra @joliemiller 4) should be "I can find out for you."
@nipunmehra Those are great tips, writing is very important in tech and I encourage my team to write a lot and as often as possible 📝 I also recommend them to avoid ambiguos constructs like passive form and “it”
@nipunmehra Thanks for sharing. Do share if you have more on this
