In STE, the preposition “with” has three approved meanings. It is a function word that shows “association or relationship”, “help or sharing” or “a means or instrument”. This word can sometimes cause ambiguity.


For example, the sentence: “Install the panel with the green fasteners.” can have different meanings:
- Install the panel that has green fasteners.
- Use the green fasteners to install the panel.

- Install the panel together with the green fasteners.


Usually the context of the sentence will give the reader sufficient information to know which meaning is correct.


But when you use the word “with”, it is a good idea to read your sentence again to make sure that it is not ambiguous, there are no errors, and that it says what you wanted to say.


Examples:

Do not write: Lift the aircraft at the maximum takeoff weight with passengers.

WRITE: Lift the aircraft at the maximum takeoff weight (passenger weight included).


The context (or experience) tells you that you will not ask the passengers to help you lift the aircraft. But because you can understand this sentence in two ways, it becomes a joke. And this is not the function of technical documentation.


Do not write: Make sure that there is no contact with stop (1) with hydraulic pressure applied.

WRITE: When you apply hydraulic pressure, make sure that the lever does not touch the stop (1).

(Condition first )


Do not write: Carefully seal the opening with the specified tool.

WRITE: Use the specified tool to seal the opening.
