A small practice for the buried request

Original practice · Optional exercise · Words that carry their weight

Choose a low-stakes example you can change without affecting another person’s private information or commitments.

1. Describe the current situation in one sentence. The example here is: A long message puts its actual question in the final line.
2. Move the question near the beginning and keep the needed context.
3. Compare the result with the difficulty you named. Write one concrete observation.
4. Keep, adapt, or stop the experiment. A note about why you stopped is a valid result.
