      This paragraph seems a bit jumbled. Because it's the first text people read, it may be more beneficial to state something more general and audience-friendly. What is written here seems a bit technical to jump into right off the start. Or, instead of having it all in one paragraph, it could be split into bullet points for easier reading.
  •  local and other partners
    • trehbein
       
      'Local and others' seems very vague. Something like 'With the help of our local and global partners,' may be more straightforward. It almost seems like using 'others' could be misinterpreted for the reader to think that the company is hiding something about their partners.

      Video The video shows staff at Chevron think that things need to be done about the big issues too.

      This slogan that make me respect them always, "The world's local bank" which emphasizes on the world being a one country and it is the local one for the whole world. It is nonnegotiable that it is a well deserved slogan since the bank is expanded to 100 countries. The Ethos is the mean of persuasion that is used claiming the proficiency that is approved by the whole world and the number of countries that are doing business with them. The slogan simply lays four words that appeal the high standard of knowledge, reputation and proficiency.

Language Harmonization at Creative Commons - Creative Commons - 0 views

  • One of the most important values at Creative Commons is the usability of our tools. We strive to make all of our tools human-readable, often bridging dissonant vocabularies and frameworks to ensure our tools are compatible and understandable the world over. The challenge of localization is balancing legally sound terminology with culturally palatable translations. Sometimes the terms in which lawyers and courts communicate are unfamiliar or alienating to users outside of the legal profession. Moreover, even within the legal field, there can be a range of opinions about which terms are most appropriate.

      Too many spaces between these words; takes away from credibility.
  • The Peace River coalfield, which extends for 400 km through the northeast part of British Columbia, was first discovered in 1793. Due to lack of infrastructure, mining in the early days was limited to small operations serving local needs. The expansion of steel production in the mid-1960's, led by the Japanese steel mills, stimulated exploration for metallurgical (coking) coal on a global scale. Within ten years the majority of the land within the Peace River coalfield with coal mining potential had been acquired and explored by various mining and oil companies.

  • Peace River Coal endeavors to minimize negative operational impacts on the surrounding ecology and terrain, affecting not only our present, but the future for generations to come
    • trehbein
       
      Although this sentence is intended to show company responsibility, it could backfire by creating the thought in the reader's mind that the mine processes are damaging to the environment. The use of 'affecting not only our present, but the future for generations to come' is intended to refer to the company's attention to minimizing impacts, but it could easily be interpreted to the negative effects themselves affecting generations for years to come. You could present the information in a more positive instead of a negative light, by saying what the company is doing to minimize operational impacts, without saying that the impacts are negative, and without pairing it directly with the thought that future generations are involved.
