Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Avoid using "as discussed relatively". Opt for clearer and more grammatically sound alternatives like "as previously discussed" or "as discussed earlier" to enhance clarity and readability.
Common error
Do not mistakenly use "relatively" to modify "as discussed". "Relatively" typically compares degrees or amounts, and its placement after "as discussed" creates an awkward and grammatically incorrect construction. Use it with quantifiers instead.
