        write?

        >"Gucci recommends..."
        Use this one if you are representing a company.  Include the
reason(s) why the company recommends....

        >"We recommend..."
        Don't use this one unless you are at least two people.

        >"It is recommended..."
        Passive voice.   Ugh.  Avoid using this one.   How to avoid
responsibility in one easy lesson.  Does not say who recommends it.

        >"It is best to..."
        You could use this one, but it might be vague unless you add the
reason(s) why the company recommends....

        >"You had better the hell..."
        Uh huh.  Sure.  Right.  How to win friends and influence
customers.  Don't forget to add "OR ELSE !" at the end.  :-)
