A phrase like “a good congressman knows his duty” excludes women, and it may show good style to rewrite such a sentence in a gender neutral form, like "good representatives know their duty". Check the references for more info on techniques to avoid gender bias in your wriitng.

A double negative employs two negatives in the same sentence so that they cancel each other and create a positive. In Shakespeare's day, double negatives were considered emphatic, but today, they are considered grammar mistakes.

Many scholars promote turning passive voice into active voice.
The Columbia Guide to Standard American English (1993) stated that:
External ReferencesActive voice makes subjects do something (to something); passive voice permits subjects to have something done to them (by someone or something). Some argue that active voice is more muscular, direct, and succinct, passive voice flabbier, more indirect, and wordier. If you want your words to seem impersonal, indirect, and noncommittal, passive is the choice, but otherwise, active voice is almost invariably likely to prove more effective.[10]

⇑ Stacked Modifiers and Nouns
- Given the large sized, well documented grammar literature there will be room to improve and lots of opportunities for mutual cooperation with university writing labs.
Avoid using long strings of modifiers or nouns. These stacked modifiers and nouns can be hard to read and sometimes create ambiguity. Add a few words (especially prepositions and conjunctions) to make the relationships between nouns clear to the reader.
Weak Example
Previous work has shown that a purified pro-oxidant, vitamin E-deficient fish oil diet protects mice against malaria parasites.
Improved Example
Previous work has shown that feeding a pro-oxidant diet containing fish oil, but devoid of vitamin E, protects mice against malaria parasites.

- Determiner- subject, subject verb agreement.
- Subordinate Conjunction without comma.
- When conjunctive adverbs behave as simple adverbs no punctuation necessary: She was accordingly quite interested in grammar.
- Indefinite article- subject agreement: I love a big beds of roses.
Abstract nouns, such as "decision", often have verb forms, "decide", and several experts urge you to use verbs when possible rather than noun forms known as nominalizations. Sentences with many nominalizations usually have weak verbs such as have, make, give and forms of be as the main verbs. Using the action verbs disguised in nominalizations as the main verbs--instead of forms of be--can help to create engaging rather than dull prose. This check aims to identify abstract nouns, but not all will have a verb form.
Example:
Bad Nominalization: We conducted an investigation of the funding.
Good Sentence: We investigated the funding.

⇑ Adverbs ending in ly
- As this report is being read by you, it'll become obvious that this automated solution is capable of accurately detecting common errors committed in writings owing to the fact that the author invested a lot of time in developing it.

Yes, many gonna think so but uncaught issues still lurk here and there in your text that Proofread Bot can't find so, make sure to report it in the forums, furthermore, you can win extra free proofread checks.
- A great selling point is that this tool goes after the deepest grammar rules, unlike other grammar checkers that only provide spellchecking.
- When conjunctive adverbs behave as simple adverbs no punctuation necessary: She was accordingly quite interested in grammar.
While an adverb ending with -ly has no grammatical problem, many consider it as bad style. Straight from "On Writing Well, 5th Edition" by William Zinsser: "Most adverbs are unnecessary. You will clutter your sentence and annoy the reader if you choose a verb that has a specific meaning and then add an adverb that carries the same meaning. Don't tell us that the radio blared loudly - "blare" connotes loudness. Don't write that someone clenched his teeth tightly - there's no other way to clench teeth. Again and again in careless writing, strong verbs are weakened by redundant adverbs."
So instead of using an adverb that modifies a verb, make sure you have a strong verb instead.

Make two separate sentences:
However I believe . this is a great beginning.Insert a coordinating conjunction between the two:
However I believe , and this is a great beginning.Subordinate one of the sentences:
However I believe that this is a great beginning.A fused sentence misses proper punctuation between clauses, and this check identifies such sentences and guesses the part of the sentence where you combine two clauses without proper separation. For solving these issues, study the in-depth explanations in the references.

⇑ Readability Scores
In addition to these reading grade scores, your Flesch Kincaid Reading Ease score is 60.8
These readability tests are used extensively in the field of education. The result translates to a U.S. grade level, making it easier for teachers, parents, librarians, and others to judge the readability level of various books and texts.
Interpreting your resultTexts for a wide audience generally need an index less than 12. Texts requiring near-universal understanding generally need an index less than 8.
As a rough guide, US grade level 1 corresponds to ages 6 to 8. Reading level grade 8 corresponds to the typical reading level of a 14 year-old US child. Grade 12, the highest US secondary school grade before college, corresponds to the reading level of a 17 year-old.
In addition to the various reading grade level calcs, the Flesch Kincaid Reading Ease score is calculated as well:
- 90.0–100.0 - easily understood by an average 11-year-old student
- 60.0–70.0 - easily understood by 13- to 15-year-old students
- 0.0-30.0 - best understood by university graduates

Most professional editors and textbook writers try to maintain an average sentence length of 15 to 20 words. This ideal size range is based on chunking and human memory principles, and some sentences will be longer than 20 words. In academic texts for example, you may have sentences of 30 or 35 words.
Try to break up long sentences (more than 35 words) to smaller ones, and join short sentences (less than 10 words) to neighboring sentences with a coordinating or a subordinating conjunction.
