Explanation

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.

Circumlocutions

Issues

  • 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.
  • Suggestion: "because," "since," "why"

Explanation

We commonly use roundabout expressions, circumlocutions, that take several words to say what could be said more succinctly. We often overlook them because many such expressions are habitual figures of speech. In writing, though, they should be avoided since they add extra words without extra meaning.

Contractions

Issues

  • 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 will 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.

Explanation

Many guides recommend avoiding contractions, such as "I've, they're, didn't, we've", in formal writing, even though they are grammatically correct.

Double Negatives

Issues

  • Could it be that it hardly never errs and guides the writer in creating an error free document ?

Explanation

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.

Expletive Constructs

Issues

  • It's important for you to see Proofread Bot in action, and this very bad article is meant to demonstrate all the checks performed by Proofread Bot .
  • 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.
  • When someone first sees this proofreading tool, they often worry that it will be useless the real reason for this worry, however, is that most users never experienced or used such a service before.

Explanation

Expletive constructions begin with "there is / are" or "it is", and their variations. These do not add any meaning, and can be easily replaced for example:
There are twenty-five students who have already expressed a desire... can be easily rewritten to
Twenty-five students already expressed a desire...

Explanation

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.

  • She was accordingly quite interested in grammar.
  • I study mathematics, which is very difficult.

Explanation

Avoid using words such as really, very, quite, extremely, severely when they are not necessary. It is probably enough to say that the salary increase is inadequate. Does saying that it is severely inadequate introduce anything more than a tone of hysteria?

  • Determiner - subject , subject verb agreement .
  • When conjunctive adverbs behave as simple adverbs no punctuation necessary :
  • Indefinite article - subject agreement :

Explanation

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.

Passive Voice

Issues

  • It 's important for you to see Proofread Bot in action , and this very bad article is meant to demonstrate all the checks performed by Proofread Bot .

  • Even though the broccoli was covered in cheddar cheese , Emily refused to eat it .

Explanation

Many scholars promote turning passive voice into active voice.

The Columbia Guide to Standard American English (1993) stated that:

Active 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]

Issues

  • I am sure in the long run Proofread Bot will prevail and take a lot of worries off of people's shoulders.
  • 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.

Explanation

Pleonasm (from Greek, pleon: more, too much) is the use of more words or word-parts than is necessary for clear expression: examples are black darkness, or burning fire.

  • When conjunctive adverbs behave as simple adverbs no punctuation necessary:

Explanation

From the Elements of Style: "Make definite assertions. Avoid tame, colorless, hesitating, non-committal language. Use the word not as a means of denial or in antithesis, never as a means of evasion."

He was not very often on time.He usually came late.
He did not think that studying Latin was much use.He thought the study of Latin useless.

Preposition Overuse

Issues

    • 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 .
    • Sentence without noun
    • Conjunctive Adverb at start of sentence .
    • Subordinate Conjunction without comma .
    • Even though the broccoli was covered in cheddar cheese , Emily refused to eat it .
    • Singular nouns written with s at the end ::

Explanation

Some grammar experts claim that the fewer prepositions the better, and this check warns you if the ratio of prepositions is more than 1 preposition per 5 words.
Abundant prepositions: The data from the participants of younger age in this study were compared with those of subjects of older age by an analysis of variance.
“Healthy” ratio of prepositions: The data from the younger and older study participants were compared by an analysis of variance

Split Infinitive

Issues

  • Checking your grammar on your own can be a time consuming activity , but the Proofread Bot will vastly improve your writing and will help you achieve your goal ,be it a better grade , or a business deal , since the main goal is to gradually , systematically , and economically relieve the burden of manual proofreading .

Explanation

A split infinitive is an English-language grammatical construction in which a word or phrase, usually an adverb or adverbial phrase, comes between the marker to and the bare infinitive (uninflected) form of a verb. Many scholars consider it as bad style.

Stacked Modifiers and Nouns

Issues

  • 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 .

Explanation

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.

    • However ugly the gargoyle (Present) may be , I (Future) will go on a blind date with him]

Explanation

The first verb in a sentence establishes the tense of any verb that comes later. If you begin writing in the past, don’t change to the present. Similarly, if you begin writing in the present, don’t change to the past.

Explanation

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.
