Bill said -->
"Personally I'd like to write in an extremely informal tone, using cuss words at appropriate times and being able to write phrases such as "Now, I know you'll think this is stupid, but trust me, this is the only way to get this [censored] application to do this operation, so pay attention, you!" without getting into trouble. ;-)"

I agree with this completely Bill. Not only would you be able to get the message across more adamantly but reading the documentation would be more interesting as well.
I recently came upon a website that I thought was a joke at first. The website actually contains content that is in similar fashion to what Bill describes above. No joke though...it is an actual company that sells software! I'm all about informal, realist communication so I was quite impressed.
Happy Friday!
