Expert writing Tips
Best practice
Pair the phrase with specific timeframes or topics, such as "future developments" or "safety protocols", to make your intention clearer and more actionable.
Common error
Do not use "aware" when you actually mean "wary". While "make sure I'm aware" means you want to have the information, "make sure I'm wary" means you want to be cautious or suspicious. Use the former for general knowledge and the latter only when a specific threat is present.
