Expert writing Tips
Best practice
When describing how someone copes with stress or expresses themselves, use more common and accurate phrases such as "as an outlet for" or "as a means of expressing" instead of "as a ventilation of".
Common error
Avoid using "ventilation" metaphorically to describe emotional release. "Ventilation" primarily refers to air circulation; using it in other contexts can confuse readers.
