Currently, we are missing a few key areas of content terminology that should be defined and added to the Content Guidelines.
For example: how do we refer to the Letter Generator, as "our tool" or "the tool" or "your tool" or something else? Are there other types of language that can be improved and made standard so that our product uses a singular voice?
