Assurance Vocabulary Desk – Style Guide

Haikus

Document the truth
The manual stands unchanged
Quiet policy

Read the written rule
Meaning drifted long ago
Paper still remains

Binding by the word
System waits for compliance
Never fully works

Style is for the dead
Formatting will rot away
Plain text is enough

Fonts will turn to dust
Colors fade to silent grey
Use the standard font

Margins never fit
Humans break the visual grid
Leave the document

Header is too large
But the meaning is too small
Print the error code

Guide restricts the form
But the content is a void
Save the empty page
