Technical Writing

Here are some gory details to be accounted, while writing a technical paper.

(i) Integers less than 10 have to be written in english, e.g. "six meters." Fractions have to be treated as plural. 5.4 meters not meter

(ii) When a sentence ends with ", it should be after the dot. E.g. "Maddy rocks." This also holds good while using quotations with comma.

(iii) Never use double negatives in your writing. To name a few, not uninteresting, not invalid.
Also use violating for " not satisfying"

(iv) lot of is used for uncountable objects. "lot of stars," "lots of money"
