My first tip is to stop using such vague and obnoxious phrasing.
- amouat 14y agoThat's just the author's style and there's nothing wrong with it, except that you don't like it.
- logn 14y agoI agree with this. I wasn't sure if he was a non-native English speaker or was going to play this up rhetorically (e.g., "I made a thing: it is now The Thing"). Very odd, repetitive, and unusual construction. I wouldn't normally call someone out on this, but if they're taking this messaging to a customer it's terrible. Use some terminology, vocab, jargon, not "a thing".
