Subject: Return of the naughty words and phrases (ODF all versions)
Dear all, * "special" (e.g. 18.404 refers to "a sequence of effects that are started when the user interactively clicks on a special element inside a page"). * "particular" as meaningless padding (e.g. 18.795 "[t]he text:date-value attribute specifies a particular date value.") Most of the time this word should be deleted or replaced with something specific. * "if and only if" (e.g. 8.1.10 "the table and each distinct group may contain one <table:table-header-columns> element, if and only if the table columns contained in the <table:table-header-columns> elements are adjacent"). A simple "if" will do. * "a bit" / "a bit like" (e.g. 19.230 "turns around a bit and moves to the bottom-right corner of the screen"). * "appropriate" as the sole adjective for some normative behaviour (e.g. 18.348 "[i]f this attribute is not present, a denominator that is appropriate for displaying the number is used"). * "expected to" (18.308 "[t]he form control is expected to react on changes in the cell range"). * "relevant" (e.g. 18.269 "[t]he attribute is only relevant if the form:repeat attribute is present, and evaluates to true"). - Alex.
