Happy Friday Writers!
QualityGal is excited to announce the addition of two NEW articles styles to the Current Styles List. The new styles, 18 and 19, include embedded links to provide our writers and clients with even more formatting options. Writers, please make sure you check out the new styles that have been posted.
We would also like to reiterate a specific section of the Style Guide for Writers that we have been struggling with this past week:
While it is acceptable to use “he”, “she”, “you”, “your”, and “yours” to avoid sounding pretentious, do not address the reader directly with these words if you can avoid it.
“He” and “she” are used when referring to a specific person. Otherwise, use “they,” “them,” “one,” “a person,” “those who,” “people,” etc.
Please keep this excerpt in mind when writing and shy away from the repetitive use of “you”.
Thank you and have a great weekend!
I try to use ‘one’ or ‘an individual’ rather than ‘you’.
