4.) Personal Attributes

Avoid speaking directly to or about the users-using words such as you, your or you’re.

Feel free to use words like “us” or “we” in place of “you” references. For example:

Make you smile vs. Made us smile
May surprise you vs. Surprised us
You won’t expect vs. We wouldn’t expect
