Screenshots are awesome to convey a lot of things but as for
"wording" it is an acquired skill to describe a tech problem
or situation and a large part of that is to know what details
are likely to be relevant and then present them and only them
in a way that communicates the situation or what has happened.

Taking a huge photo of the whole screen is maybe fast and fun
but it does a worse job at narrowing down the problem, as there
is so much unrelated material, even in a virtual console or
terminal emulator mode.
