Expert writing Tips
Best practice
For clarity, consider using more common phrases like "as intended by" or "according to the design specifications" to ensure your meaning is easily understood.
Common error
Avoid using "as designed from" repeatedly in formal documents. Opt for stronger, more precise language to enhance readability and avoid sounding repetitive. Instead of saying "the system was implemented as designed from the initial plan", try "the system was implemented according to the initial plan".
