English prefers concrete words to abstract ones. French and Spanish have a higher tolerance to abstraction and vagueness. French and Spanish are as comfortable with the active voice as English, but they have a higher tolerance for the passive voice in administrative prose. English uses shorter sentences than French and Spanish, which are more verbose in their style of expression. French and Spanish were inspired by the civil law system, English by the common law system where the role of the courts is different.
Enumeration is used in English but less frequently in French and Spanish.
All three languages take exception to the use of double negatives. Generally, they use one idea per sentence, except in literary contexts and court cases. The graphic presentation of English, French and Spanish is the same now that the use of computer technology is universal. However, pictograms and icons have to be devised for individual language communities. These are very much tied to the local culture.
