Hi, Just trying to get my head around the word "brevity". Does this sentence make correct use of the words: "The interview has been paraphrased for brevity, below:". This is OK, although in this example it would be more natural to say 'the interview has been summarized'.

Ok, gotcha.. Have a look at this sentence and tell me what you think (it might be a little inflated..):
"In addition to the formal system objectives, specifically formed interview questions aim to identify the user requirements for both sets of users which are:"
Thank you!

Hi,
"In addition to the formal system objectives, specifically formed interview questions aim to identify the user requirements for both sets of users, which are:"
I assume that 'which' refers to 'sets of users'. In that case, say 'who are'.

Hi,
When I worked in the computer business, we identified the user requirements before we decided on the system requirements.
You don't do it that way?

Hey,
Erm, I kinda haven't no.
In the beginning I state the aim, and then the objectives (overall) to meet the aim (whih is basically the project brief).
And requirements was the wrong work. I meant objectives. So we tell the reader what we're making, then we tell them "how" we're making it, from the user requirements.
That's the way I thought was most logical I
