    1. Omit unnecessary information. Unnecessary information can also confuse and frustrate readers—after all, it is there so they may feel obligated to read it. Technical document are often skimmed for important detail

      This text stood out to me because it shows what kind of readers a writing will encounter. The over all reader is looking for key information. Therefore writing words just to fill the page is a bad idea. This lets me know that if it won't benefit the reader then it shouldn't be included.

    2. Audience analysis can become complicated when you consider that you may have a combination of audience types and backgrounds: mixed audience types, wide variability within audience, and/or unknown audiences.

      I agree with statement that audience analysis can be complicated. As I was reading about the variety of audience you may encounter I started to wonder, how can you write something for experts and non specialist with out boring one of the parties. If the information is too vague it will bore the experts and if its too advance the non specialist will be lost.

    3. Adapt your writing to meet the needs, interests, culture, and background of those who will be reading your documents.

      This statement stuck out to me because I feel as though many writers don't keep the readers in mind when they have a story to tell.Usually they convey the message in the most easiest way they know how but this might not grab your readers attention. Thinking about what interest your audience will make your writing stand out.
