| Avoid nominalization. | "To reach a conclusion" | Use "Conclude." |
| Avoid using ambiguous modal auxiliary verbs. | May, might, ought, could, used to, etc. | Be more clear when writing to avoid ambiguity. |
| Avoid prepositional phrases. | "According to the repository log..." or "After trying many times..." | Write the sentence more directly. |
| Avoid vague nouns and pronouns | "Maintainers and contributors have access to files and comments. In the pull request they make changes to it." In this example it is not clear if the changes are being made to the file or to the comments. Another example “After saving the file in the folder, the user deleted it.” In this sentence it is not clear what was deleted (file or folder). | If a pronoun seems to refer to more than one antecedent, either reword the sentence to make the antecedent clear or replace the pronoun by a noun to eliminate ambiguity. |
