Day 237: Avoid judgment words.
Judgment words reflect your opinion about a topic. The following sentences contain judgment words.
“The loudmouths at the back of the hall disrupted the meeting agenda.”“This board of directors wasted essential time on non-important items.”
“The spectacular fireworks display demonstrated their patriotism—and their love of things that go bang.”
While this may be appropriate in some cases, it is generally not appropriate for professional, objective writing for three reasons.
First, the writing is not objective but subjective, which means that it is not based on evidence, facts, or broadly accepted information. When you use judgment words, you are giving your opinion, which leads us to the second reason.
Second, when you provide your opinions, you don’t give the reader the necessary information to make his or her own opinion based on the facts, evidence, etc. Astute readers will understand that you are providing an opinion and, in the absence of the evidence, will not accept your information.
Third, you disrespect the reader. You don’t allow him to determine his own opinion. You told him what opinion to have—yours.
