Tybalt is just a young man like Romeo, but he has a belligerent disposition and an inflated opinion of his importance in the Capulet family. He is angry at Romeo for at least two reasons. The first one is that he feels personally offended by the way Romeo and his friends crashed the big Capulet party.

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 ...
