Column 3: STE EXAMPLE
This column shows you:
- How to use the approved word
- How to use the approved alternative (usually a word-for-word replacement)
- How to keep the same meaning with a different sentence construction.
  The wording in the STE examples gives recommendations. The STE example shows only one
  method to write a text with the approved word or to use alternatives for a word that is not approved.
  You can frequently use different sentence constructions with other approved words and keep the
  same meaning.
  Many of the given examples come from the subject field of aircraft maintenance. If you replace the
  terms in the sentence with other applicable terms, you can use these examples for other subject
  fields or domains. If you work in a different subject field or domain, you can send a change form
  with your examples for a possible inclusion in the dictionary.
