Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Instead of using the grammatically incorrect "i rationale", opt for clearer and more accepted phrases like "my reasoning" or "my justification" to convey your reasons or explanations.
Common error
Avoid using "i" directly before "rationale" as "rationale" is a noun. Using a possessive pronoun like "my" before "rationale" or rephrasing the sentence will result in grammatically correct expressions.
