Add style to your technical writing

Technical writing need not be dry either by design or default. Without neglecting precision and conciseness, language and phrasing can be used to assist rather than impede understanding. Putting style in technical writing can be aided by awareness of these devices: alliteration, anaphora, antemetaboly, antithesis, climax, colon, epistrophe, metonymy, and simile. Examples of each are included.
