Schrijf mee aan pareltaal! Gewoon lekker voor de vuist weg en teogankelijk voor alle leeftijden en culturen. En in je moerstaal.
Let wel op de stijl, grammatika en spelling. pareltaal heeft een aantal richtlijnen geadopteerd:
- Signalering Onjuist Spatiegebruik—bijvoorbeeld vissenkomdialoog en geen vissenkom dialoog.
- Toch een paar regels van Wikipedia.
Use Active Voice
Pareltaal kenmerkt zich door actief taalgebruik en ook versterkend taalgebruik.
- Sjabloon:Baobab's Passive Voice Is Redeemed For Web Headings:
- When structuring a sentence, active voice ("Actor does X to Object") is usually better than passive voice ("Object has X done to it by Actor") because it more directly represents the action. As a result, readers don't have to jump through as many cognitive hoops when trying to understand what's going on.
- For the same reason, it's usually better to write a positive statement ("do X") than a negative statement ("avoid Y"), and
- It's almost always horrible to use double negatives ("avoid not doing X"). Again, the simpler the translation between the text and the user's mental model, the easier the writing is to understand.
- Usability increases when users need fewer mental transformations to convert a sentence into actionable understanding.
