Top 4 errors I see from multilingual writers on social media... 1. Adding a question mark to 'how to' phrases 2. Using dependent clauses to begin opening sentences 3. Overusing copywriting buzzwords 4. Cluttering sentences with prepositions Do the 'swipey swipey' to get the quick fixes for all 4 issues. Any other typical errors you've noticed? *** I’m Phil. ??

Nicely put... also, using an excess of strong words such as embark and embrace can make your speech sound overly mechanical.
I used to do some editing for writers who were largely from India and Pakistan, and the one thing that stuck with me was that adverbs tended to trip them up. A person was never 'running quickly' or 'quickly running', they were always 'running in a quick manner'.
At this point in time I would like to express my sincere gratitude in what concerns the much appreciated information in this post related to writing English in a clear, concise manner, notwithstanding the fact that I permit myself refraining from any help, since I do not believe that an assistance in this domain is in fact necessary to me.
The most popular one I have seen umpteen times is "AN YEAR" Even seasoned writers commit this mistake. PS- interesting post. Thanks for the share Philip Charter ??
I have been guilty of the first error (perhaps in my latest post too). Grammarly didn't pick that up. It seems it has its limitations in such cases. Thank you for this post, Philip Charter ??
these are really some lesser-known mistakes, I didn't even notice myself making them up until now but now onwards it will stay in my mind. Glad to have stumbled upon this today !
Love this
