I am sure that every day you come across thousands of websites, social media posts or email corrections filled with conventional and boring descriptions.
Texts that say it all, but do not convey any emotion, like the maninstruction manual for a washing machine.
Sometimes they are too direct or technical, which is probably why most of us prefer to call home when we have to deal with a recipe or a delicate garment.

- “Wash the sweaters that you give away for Christmas with the pink detergent from the third program, you will see how fluffy and soft they are”.
