520 _aWritten communication in business ought to be fast, specific, and responsible. It should show someone acting, doing something to or for someone else. Business life offers few occasions for the descriptive set-piece. It chronicles history in the making, depicts someone acting on matter or on people. Abstractions occur in an applied context, form part of a problem. Business prose ought to be verb-style prose, lining up actor, action, and object in a chain of popwer and lining them up fast.
