1. Clarity and Conciseness 💡
- Trim unnecessary words: Replace phrases like "due to the fact that" with "because" to simplify.
- Use active voice: For example, change "The report was reviewed by the team" to "The team reviewed the report."
- Avoid jargon: Explain technical terms if your audience isn’t familiar with them.
2. Grammar and Style 📖
- Check for subject-verb agreement: Ensure "They is" becomes "They are."
- Be consistent with terminology: Use "color" in American English or "colour" in British English throughout.
- Use em-dashes for flow: Replace commas with em-dashes (—) in complex sentences.
3. Consistency 🔄
- Maintain tense and POV: Stick to past tense or third-person perspective.
- Standardize formatting: Use the same citation style (APA, MLA, etc.) across all documents.
- Check date/time formats: Ensure consistency in "January 1st" vs "1st January."
