There are just some notes I made for a recent documentation review. <ul> A shepherd named Shepard shepherds data parameters <div>Use "said" when you're referring back to one or more items that you don't want to list again. It's a sort of fancy neutral pronoun to refer to the subject. E.g., say you have the sentence <bq>The parameters A, B, C, and D are shown to the user; after the user has chosen values for them, the application submits them.</bq> Here, we've used "them" twice, which feels a touch awkward. We could instead spice things up with, <bq>The parameters A, B, C, and D are shown to the user; after the user has chosen values for <i>said parameters</i>, the application submits them.</bq></div> <div>Use "respectively" when you're applying multiple values to previously named items. E.g., <bq>The user will calibrate A and B, setting them to appropriate input and output values, respectively.</bq> You can also use "corresponding", as in <bq>The user will calibrate A and B, setting them to their corresponding input and output values.</bq></div> </ul> <img src="{att_link}grammarnazi.jpg" href="{att_link}grammarnazi.jpg" align="none" scale="30%">
