Correctness

You want to have correctness in your communications. Whatever information you are conveying should be accurate. Even if you follow the other best practices, if your message is incorrect, the purpose of your communication will not be fulfilled. If any facts and data are provided in your communication, ensure that they are accurate.

In addition to ensuring the correctness of your message, the grammar and vocabulary that you use in your communications, written or verbal, should be correct as well. In any written communication, be sure to use proper spelling and punctuation. Correctness will increase the audience's confidence level in you as the speaker (or writer) and it will help to convey your message.
