In Chapter 1, Scout and Jem are playing in their backyard when they hear something coming from Miss Rachel Haverford's collard patch. They walk over to the fence expecting to find a puppy, and instead discover a small boy sitting down, staring directly at them.

The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...
