Re: Reminder and Homework Instructions: Wednesday, October 23, 2024 - Internationalization Accessibility Community Group Meeting

Hi Jan,
I noticed patterns that lead to three agenda items:


   - Passive voice hinders comprehension - discuss:
      - Feasibility of active voice vs. benefits of passive voice
      - Approach to changes
   - Patterns of confusion and how to fix them: syntax
   - Volunteering edits

Thank you,
Andy
