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.
To write plainly and concisely, use consider instead of the roundabout phrases give consideration to and take into consideration. Other possibilities include examine, think about, think over and weigh.
