Thank you, Maam Noreen for that informative and insightful introduction about the definition of

accuracy and the essence of it in technical writing.

Now, let us proceed on the 3 main aspects of Accuracy.

1. Document accuracy refers to the proper coverage of your topics in appropriate detail.


Document accuracy is generally cultivated by a clear problem statement and by a
preliminary outline.
2. Stylistic accuracy concerns the careful use of language to express meaning. Accurate
language requires the careful use of paragraph and sentence structure and word choice
to describe and analyze your topics effectively. Stylistic accuracy is also a matter of
using words precisely.
3. Technical accuracy depends on the writer's conceptual mastery of the subject and its
vocabulary, also on his or her ability to analyze and shape data with a minimum of
distortion.

CONCLUSION:

In conclusion, an effective technical writing must be correct, whether grammatically,


mathematically, electronically, etc. Errors in technical writing make the company and the
employee look bad. More importantly, errors can lead to damages, injuries, lawsuits, or just
embarrassment and misunderstandings.
