Good news! We have updated our writing tools. Writing Tips and The Canadian Style have been combined to create a new tool called Writing Tips Plus.
Don’t forget to update your bookmarks. Within a few weeks, Writing Tips will no longer be available.
Excuse someone for something means to pardon or forgive him or her.
When one excuses a person from something, he or she is relieved of a duty or responsibility.
