Extractions: How much attention should technical communicators pay to formal rules of grammar, punctuation, and usage? Does incorrect grammar, punctuation, or usage detract from the value and usability of your groups publications? Does your audience care, or even notice, if formal rules are broken? Grammar is the arrangement, relationships, and functions of words and the ways they are put together to form phrases, clauses or sentences. Punctuation marks are signals that help readers to understand the ideas in a passage and read more quickly and efficiently. Rules of grammar, punctuation, and usage can be essential or nonessentialor even fake! Writers and editors need to pay attention to the essential issues, but can spend less time on nonessential issuesparticularly in the face of tight deadlinesand they can safely ignore the fake issues. Essential rules are those that are necessary for clear, unambiguous communication.
