Words that qualify as Manufacturing Processes (Refer to Rule 1.10).
AECMA Simplified English is a controlled general vocabulary with sufficient words to express any technical sentence. Besides this general vocabulary, the writer can also use those words that belong to Technical Names and Manufacturing Processes.
Part of Speech
RULE: 1.2 Use approved words from the Dictionary only as the part of speech given.
Each approved word in the Dictionary has a part of speech. Do not use it as another part of speech for which it is not approved. For example, if a word is given only as a noun, do not use it as a verb.
Example: "Test" is approved as a noun but not as a verb.
WRITE: Do the leak test for the system.
or
Do a test for leaks in the system.
NOT: Test the system for leaks.
Example: "Close" is a verb (and not an adverb).
WRITE: Do not go near the landing gear if ...
NOT: Do not go close to the landing gear if ...
Approved Meaning
RULE: 1.3 Keep to the approved meaning of a word in the Dictionary. Do not use the word with any other meaning.
Example: "Follow" means "come after". It does not mean "obey".
WRITE: Obey the safety instructions.
NOT: Follow the safety instructions.
Forms of Verbs and Adjectives
RULE: 1.4 Only use those forms of verbs and adjectives shown in the Dictionary.
Examples:
BURN (v), BURNS, BURNED, BURNED
(This shows that you must spell the past participle "BURNED" not "burnt", and that you must not use the "-ing" form. Also, refer to rule 3.1.)
SLOW (adj)
(SLOWER, SLOWEST)
TACKY (adj)
(No other forms of this adjective are permitted.)
Rules for Technical Names
RULE: 1.5 You can use words that are Technical Names.
Because there are many Technical Names, and because each manufacturer uses different names, there is not a complete list of Technical Names in the Dictionary. Instead, we give you below a list of categories, with some examples, to help you decide if a word can be a Technical Name.
Words or symbols qualify as Technical Names if they are in one of these categories:
1. Names in the official parts information (for example, Illustrated Parts Catalog or engineering drawing): Retractor link, oil seal, hatch, engine, wing, transceiver, indicator, bolt, cable, clip, conductor, contact, filter, logo light, pipe, propeller, screw, switch
