TIP OF THE DAY: If you use the word "this" or "that," follow it with a noun that clearly indicates the antecedent. Ensure that your use of "this" or "that" isn't also an indicator of poor sentence construction. The word "lets" or "allows" following "this" or "that" is generally a sign that more editing is needed. INCORRECT: "This shows the user who owns the process." CORRECT: "This option shows the user who owns the process." INCORRECT: "Turn on the 'updates-testing' repository in the Software Sources tool. This lets you test new packages before they are pushed to the stable repository." CORRECT: "To test new packages before they are pushed to the stable repository, turn on the 'updates-testing' repository in the Software Sources tool." Be on the lookout for naked "this" or "that"! -- Paul W.
