Description
This seminar covers common textual bloopers that occur in computer-based products and online services. We'll identify the most insidious types of bloopers, such as these:
Too much text
Speaking Geek
Inconsistent terminology
Inconsistent style
Clueless error messages
A short quiz will provide practice in recognizing these errors. We'll also discuss techniques to keep errors from occurring and discuss the importance of developing and adhering strictly to a project lexicon.
