 ### Use second-person pronouns (*you*, *your*, *yours*)
 
-In general, write in the second person to establish a friendly, casual tone with the reader as though you're speaking to them. Writing in the second person also helps you avoid using passive voice. However, don't overuse *your* when referring to user interaction.

-For example: *Your Elastic Agents* can feel overly familiar if used too many times. However, *your environment* as opposed to *the environment* sounds more casual. It can be tricky when deciding word choice, but when in doubt, try replacing the pronoun with *the* to see if it's an appropriate substitute.

-First-person plural pronouns can sometimes convey a stuffy and serious tone—the opposite of Elastic's more casual tone. In some instances, however, it's okay to use these sparingly. For example, it's perfectly acceptable to say *we recommend*, and in fact is preferable over *it is recommended* since that uses passive voice.

 ### Avoid gendered pronouns
 
 Use gender-neutral pronouns as appropriate. Avoid using *he*, *him*, *his*, *she*, and *her*. Instead, try replacing it with a form of *user*. Also, avoid using combination pronouns such as *he/she* or *(s)he*. Use *they* or *them* instead.
 
-## Verb tense 
+## Verb tense
 
 Avoid temporal words like *currently*, *now*, or *will* and conditional words like *should* or *could*. Write in the present tense to describe the state of the product as it is now. You may need to use the past tense occasionally, but try to change it to the present tense to see if that's a better fit.

 ## Contraction do's and dont's
 
-Use contractions: they're (an acceptable contraction, by the way) conversational and don't require a lot of thought because we use them in everyday language. However, don't mix contractions and their spelled-out equivalents. For example, don't use *don't* and *do not* in the same context unless you absolutely need the latter for emphasis.
