Expert Ability

Are they experts, technicians, executives or nonspecialists? Experts are the people who know the theory and the product inside and out. They designed it, they tested it, and they know everything about it. The technician's are the people, who built, operate, maintain, and repair the stuff that the experts design and theorize about. The executives are the people who make business, economic, administrative, legal, governmental, political decisions on the stuff that the experts and technicians work with. The nonspecialists are the people that have the least technical knowledge of all.

When addressing a general audience, use simple words that everyone can understand for your report. Remember that everyone is not an expert or specialist in your field. Save the complicated and specialized terminology words for addressing experts and specialists in your field. Also use sentence clarity and economy in your work.

As you may...
