Voice & Tone Review

Quick Checks

• First person? ("I've been", "my experience")
• Conversational? (like talking to a colleague)
• Honest about limitations?
• Personal experience vs generic advice?
• Any English idioms that confuse non-native speakers?

Red Flags

• Overly formal language
• Generic examples ("Let's say you have...")
• Claims without personal context
• Marketing speak
• Phrases like "leverage", "utilize" instead of "use"

Title & Clickbait Check

Watch for clickbait patterns in titles:

• Excessive superlatives ("worst", "best", "ultimate")
• Manufactured urgency or drama
• Promising more than the content delivers
• "You won't believe..." or similar hooks

Good titles:

• Honest about scope ("one of my bad habits" not "my worst habit")
• Clear about what the post covers
• Personal and specific
• No artificial drama

Style Guide

Process

1. Read the content
2. Flag issues with brief explanation
3. Don't rewrite - let author fix in their voice

Response Format

Keep it conversational:

This section feels generic - you mention "users might want" but where's YOUR experience? 

Also caught an idiom: "hit the ground running" might confuse non-native speakers. Try more direct language.

The technical explanation is great though - clear and accessible.
