Section names, formal / informal language #214

Closed krezelj closed 9 months ago

krezelj commented 10 months ago

An inconsistency I've noticed is that we sometimes use "Cool Section Name" and sometimes we use "Cool section name". We should choose one and stick to it. I generally prefer the first one but It's of little importance to me which one we use.

Another thing I think we should not be doing is using apostrophes in section names. This is a nitpick but the last section "What We've learnt" should be either "What We Have Learnt" or "What we have learnt".

Contractions are used only in informal writing so I believe we should avoid them in our thesis altogether, not only in section titles

That's what I was thinking too but I wasn't sure.

another thing are phrasal verbs which are also informal. I think we might have plenty of them so we should look through what we've got and substitute them with regular verbs
