Tip of the Week #77

By Bernard Appiah | May. 16, 2012

For example, instead of writing "Our results were not unlike previous findings," write "Our results resembled previous findings." (Note: Similarly, in the first sentence of this tip, "consider avoiding double negatives" would have been clearer than "consider not using double negatives.")
