	English writing style - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The style of a piece of writing is the way in which features of the language are used to convey meaning, typically but not always within the constraints of more widely accepted conventions of grammar and spelling.
		In many kinds of professional writing aiming for effective transfer of information, adherence to a standardised style of writing helps readers make sense of what the writer is presenting.

		When you read your writing it may seem perfectly clear, but other people may not be getting your point.
		Write to yourself until you can quickly explain to a friend what you are writing about, why you believe it, and what evidence supports your position.
		Some style "crimes" are varied symptoms of one problem: the subjects and verbs or the actor and action of your sentence are hiding from the reader.
