Exercise 16–2 Avoiding Jargon

Revise the following sentences to eliminate the jargon. If necessary, revise extensively. If you can’t tell what a sentence means, decide what it might mean, and rewrite it so that its meaning is clear. Possible revisions for the lettered sentences appear at the end of the handbook. Example:

The proximity of Mr. Fitton’s knife to Mr. Schering’s arm produced a violation of the integrity of the skin.

Mr. Fitton’s knife cut Mr. Schering’s arm.
