Each sentence must have all its parts. Do not omit words or use contractions (for example, don’t, isn’t, aren’t) when you write sentences. If you do that, your sentence will be shorter but it will not be easier to read. Write all words in full.

Do not omit nouns to make sentences shorter. It will be difficult for the reader to know what you mean.


Example:
Non-STE: Can be a maximum of five inches long.

STE: Cracks can have a maximum length of five inches.


Do not omit verbs, because the reader will not understand what the action is.


Example:

Non-STE: Rotary switch to INPUT.
STE: Set the rotary switch to INPUT.

Do not omit the subject, because the reader will not know what you are referring to.


Examples:

Non-STE: If installed, remove the shims.
STE: If shims are installed, remove them.

Non-STE: WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE POTABLE WATER SYSTEM IS NOT PRESSURIZED. IF NOT, THIS CAN CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONS.
STE: WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE POTABLE WATER SYSTEM IS NOT PRESSURIZED. A PRESSURIZED SYSTEM CAN CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONS.

Do not omit articles to make the sentence shorter, because this can cause ambiguity.

Examples:
Non-STE: Remove the bolt and stop.
STE: Remove the bolt and the stop.

Do not omit parts of words to make contractions because these can be difficult to understand.

Example:
Non-STE: If your hands are wet, don't touch the USB power adapter.
STE: If your hands are wet, do not touch the USB power adapter.
