“Loan” is a perfectly legitimate verb, but lots of people wrinkle their noses at it, so either brace yourself for the nose wrinkling or go with “lend,” it’s up to you.8I see no reason to spell either “doxing” or “vaxing” with two x’s.9 If we could all preserve “criterion” as the singular and “criteria” as the plural, I’d take it as a great personal kindness. The noun is “prophecy”; the verb is “prophesy.”

Subject & verb must always agree Adjectives appear in the royal order Apostrophes never make words plural Non-parallel structure stops the reader Modifiers should be closest to the word they are modifying  Punctuation must end a sentence in body text Don’t add periods to other punctuation Never triple a contraction
