For example, in the technical description,. i.e., the specification section of the appication, the discussion of the drawings must be introduced by this legalistic sentence:
...the accompanying drawing in which like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout the figures of the drawing
The language must be definite, the following are too nebulous to enable any claims that follow the section:
would... may... it ...It is then possible... can...
Pronouns must be decidedly avoided: it, them
The claims section is so serious that pronouns are never used therein.
The present tense is the king:
“surface to be free of at least…” should be “enabling at least … to be removed”
“can be” should be “is”
“capability” is rewritten as “structural characteristic”
“with” is too amaturish, weak, nebulously fuzzy (in parallel, or including, internal to?) the thought idea related as “containing”
Thus: no such verbiage as would, could, may, possible, can, will
No pronouns it, its, them, this
"It is" always means something that can be expressed more clearly.
