Sense or sensibility, hmmmm.
For spoken language; I would say sensibility over sense. If you’ve ever listened to anyone talk in a monotone without any inflection or emotion you will know what I mean. It is seriously dull and hard to follow. It does depend on the context though. If you are reporting an accident you have just witnessed – get to the point and quick.
As to written language; for business documentation I tend stick to the sense side. A report on sales does not require any extra flourishes, and the overall understanding of the data can be hindered by it. Mind you, marketing involves a lot of sensibility. On the personal side…I would like to say sensibility but even though I tend to put more emotion into my writing I do make a point of making sense.
Arrrghh…I guess I can’t really separate the two, and both are important overall.
