If not please ask questions. I am trying to paraphrase
   so ordinary mortals (non-engineers) can understand it :)

   UGH!

   My first engineering job out of college was at the Corning R & D
   Facilities in Corning, NY.  There were 200- 300 people on the
   technical staff from PHD's to  techs. The management apparently was
   having difficulty with communication and brought in an expert for a
   two day MANDATORY  seminar.  To say the least, it greatly influenced
   my writting skills.

   Fifty years later three things still stand out in my mind.

   1.  Write to express, not to impress.

   2.  Know the lowest comprehension level of all your readers and
   write to him.  (he may be your supervisors boss who is reviewing
   your promotion,)

   3.  You don't have to fill a full page to tell people to turn off
   the bathroom light when leaving.

   Did I keep this under a full page?
