Application of the following basic language practices will improve practicality and fluidity of IT
solicitation documentation and requirements. Documents should be consistent and subject to
uniform interpretations. Writing style and sentence structure matter and the conceptual integrity
presented is important to its interpretation. Extra unnecessary words increase the risk of
confusion, misinterpretation, and contradiction.
