Great advice, including the advice to ignore your advice. As Douglas Bader put it, "rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men (sic)." Are we wise enough to know when a rule should be ignored?
I also agree with you 100 per cent about leverage as a verb.
Jane, I so enjoy reading your blogs. Most of your points match the advice I give to my students, but you express these writing guidelines so well, and I love your examples! Thank you and happy new year to you!
Thank you for this. I will apply for a scholarship and I need to write essays, this will really come in handy!

Thanks for reading! I worry that the advances in AI are going to make us less wise and less capable of knowing when to ignore rules.
