Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (OBIX-19) Line 148, Line 161, Line 212 - Are words such as "slick", "cleverly", "nifty" appropriate words to use along with the connotations they imply?


    [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OBIX-19?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=34611#action_34611 ] 

Craig Gemmill  commented on OBIX-19:
------------------------------------

Group discussion 2013-09-12: General informality in the tone is acceptable.  These few examples are simply the worst offenders, which may perhaps imply a negative connotation in that "we're better than you", etc.  It also may be confusing to non-native English speakers, as these are somewhat idiomatic expressions.

Recommendation: change these examples only, along with other "worst offenders" if identified.  This is not a mandate for a global change in the informal tone of the doc.
