Understanding "Why" Aids Policy Conformance
When it comes to writing, I'm a bit of a traditionalist (and, frankly, snob;). I like the Oxford comma and I'm particularly fond of using "e.g." and "i.e.". However, in my recent past and current role, such things are frowned upon. As a matter of style guide writing convention, we prefer "for example" instead of "e.g." Policies like this always make me bristle a bit; especially when the answer to "Why are we writing in this less formal manner?" is along the lines of "It's policy."
