Expert writing Tips
Best practice
When referring to a quantity remaining after deductions, use clear terms like "remaining amount" or "final total" instead of "leaving sum" to avoid ambiguity.
Common error
Avoid using the phrase "leaving sum" as it can be unclear. Specify exactly what the "sum" represents and what is "leaving" it. For example, instead of saying "the leaving sum was small", specify, "the remaining profit was small after taxes".
