You're missing this quiz.

Members play it at four levels, with a new set every time. A few from this module:

  1. Question 1, locked

    A payments company adopts the cheerful, irreverent voice of a snack brand. Why does it land badly?

    • Payments companies are legally required to use formal language in customer messages
    • Irreverence only works in spoken channels, not in writing
    • Register has to match what is at stake for the reader, and irreverence from a company holding your money reads as evasion
    • The voice is borrowed, and a borrowed voice is always weaker than an invented one
  2. Question 2, locked

    You are reviewing a draft voice principle. What tells you it will change how somebody writes?

    • Whether its opposite is a position somebody could actually hold
    • Whether everybody in the room agreed to it
    • Whether it is one of the brand's four core adjectives
    • Whether it can be said in under five words
  3. Question 3, locked

    Why does a list of banned words need the reason written next to each entry?

    • The reason is what makes the ban enforceable by the legal team
    • Writers need to know which bans came from the founder personally
    • Without reasons the list cannot be split into lexicon and house style
    • A bare list reads as arbitrary, and writers route around rules they think are arbitrary
