| Feb 12, 2017 at 17:08 | comment | added | Robbie Goodwin | Uh… thanks for the clarification. Do you realise there's no faint clue to the guide in the question? It's still sad that trying to make suggestions fit in the example sentence above is spoiling the whole idea. The structure is very important and it's also quite clearly the largest part of the problem. If it's for a software guide, what words does the software itself use, for goodness sake? How might original manual have explained the example you gave? | |
| Feb 12, 2017 at 8:07 | comment | added | DAE | @RobbieGoodwin - I'm writing a user guide for a software that has this functionality, and trying to find the appropriate words to describe it, so don't worry, no one will lose a lot of money. I'll be sure to describe everything well enough that even if the terminology isn't perfect, people will understand what they're doing. P.S. I'm not a poor guy, really doing fine :) | |

You changed it for another, even though the poor guy had specifically stressed: 'Also - please make suggestions that fit in the example sentence above, the structure is quite important to my question.' | |
