Common misconception
When giving commands, you should make them as long as possible so that it is really clear what needs to be done.
Commands are easier to understand when they are short. The more details you add, the more chance there is for misunderstanding. Commands need to be clear and to the point, leaving out any detail that would not be helpful in understanding them.
