WRITING GUIDELINES
Grammar, punctuation, and capitalization
Please use Grammarly to check your writing. You can use it on the web or download the app.
If you use Chrome it’s a good idea to install the extension as it integrates with WordPress, highlighting errors in the Write Post window. If you don’t want Grammarly suggesting edits on other sites, such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc., you can turn it off for individual sites.
🚩 Make sure to set your preferences to American English.
