I'm not very swift most mornings, I confess. Coffee sometimes helps! ☕️

Professor Allen's Proofreading Pointers:

Be careful with…

1️⃣ it's vs. its:

"it's" means it is or it has (it's a contraction)

"its" shows ownership (possession)

2️⃣ "refer back to": a redundancy bc the prefix "re-" means "back" or "back to" (instead use "refer")

😊 Happy writing,

Kathryn
