Notable Losers
Write: "is", not "serves as". Write: "to", not "in order to". Write: "because", not "due to the fact that". Never use words like additionally, crucial, or leverage. Avoid triple lists such as speed, security, and scalability. End with a specific fact or number instead of vague statements. Use exact figures like $62,300 rather than significant level. Mix short sentences with longer ones to avoid monotone pacing.
