My issue in college was that my handwriting was garbage when I tried to write quickly, like one would do while taking notes during a lecture. If I zoomed in all the way on One Note on my Surface Pro, the lines of the pencil tool would be heavily smoothed and actually legible. I could also go back during downtime and rearrange text and diagrams, rewrite mistakes cleanly, and erase doodles (or move them).

Suddenly I went from taking horrific notes to taking absolutely amazing notes that I could actually use later. I believe that this contributed a decent amount to my success later on in college.

Changes like these aren't something you make in an instant. You practice using the right language over time. I'm sure that other engineers have a few braincells left over to think before they speak/type.

The idea with this guide is to give a comprehensive look at clean language that people should be investing a bit of thought to
