Haha :). And I like that link! I bet I'm a *huge* offender.

So right or wrong, I purposefully write much more conversationally in the screencasts. The only priority is to be clear (of course) but also entertaining so people won't get bored. I'll use whatever language accomplishes that :). I admit that I haven't read enough research on this, but I did read recently that if you have a conversation with the reader, their brain stays more alert - readying itself to respond to you (even though logically you know you won't need to respond to a video/blog post).

This ultimately means that I don't currently really have any standards on things to avoid - the more natural the language the better. But if anything ever sounds bad to you, please do let me know. And if you have more to add to this conversation, I would love that. I certainly don't like that it sounds weird to you - that's definitely no good :).
