RE: Beliefs and passions- new job requirements

["Dan Goldstein" <DGoldstein -at- riveraintech -dot- com>]

As a general rule, I don't use "enable" and "allow" very much in tech writing. This is as opposed to "can" and "cannot," which I use often:

"Click Save.
NOTE: You cannot save your settings until the hufflejoint has griffed the dowelsludge."
