Thanks! I have the book, but never finished it. The summary and examples are great.

Avoid exclamation points? (picture #16) I don't think so! And the use of inclusive feminine pronouns (as in picture 10) always grates me the wrong way.

Thanks for your comments.

I think you’re correct about exclamation points. This is old advice. For the web especially, sprinkling some exclamation points around — if not done too much — is effective.

On the use of feminine pronouns, I do this occasionally and no one has complained. I would be curious to hear what others think about that.

I actually prefer to alternate “he” or “she” as opposed to using “they” when it’s a single person.

Cheers.
