### Writing style guide

* Use the _present_ tense (except for historic facts)
* Use a _neutral_ tone (No strong narrator = no first-person ("I", "we") nor second-person ("you"))
* Use a _formal_ style (No slang)
* Use the [American English spelling](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_and_British_English_spelling_differences)
* Use the [Oxford comma](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_comma) for coordinating conjunctions (C, C++__,__ and D)
