: Re: Can basic grammar rules be skipped when writing text for machine safety labels? First of all I'm completely against this idea but a few people who contribute to the technical documentation project

I think one significant problem boils down to this attitude

tl;dr

More-so a problem with the younger generations; there's a perceived coolness around not-learning. Also, reading words is more cognitive load than simply recognising a (good) pictogram or even identifying a colour.

So in this case, less is more and fewer words leads to better outcomes. If grammar suffers, then at least waffle is decreased and signal-to-noise ratio increases.
