Expert writing Tips
Best practice
When aiming for precision in academic writing, use phrases like "which indicates that" or "the data suggest that" instead of the grammatically questionable "I indicating that".
Common error
Avoid using the first person pronoun "I" in formal writing where an objective tone is expected. Phrases like "I indicating that" can sound informal and introduce subjectivity. Instead, focus on the data or evidence as the subject.
