    Using the wrong register for the material or topic. For example, using very literary language in a technical manual… No, “peculiarities” is not an appropriate synonym for “features” or “specs”.

      “Peculiarities” has a much different connotation. I’ve used software which has had features that might have been better described as peculiarities.
