Abstract :
A more discursive style¿one that is relaxed and marked with personal pronouns and active-voice constructions¿has been the subject of recent modest experiments at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Early results indicate that such a style is more readable, more interesting, and probably a better vehicle for transmitting information from one mind to another.
