Editorial: Happy New Year, New Year’s, or New Years?
At Historic City News last year, we adopted a new tool for cleaning up the writing on our website. In addition to two spellchecking applications, when a reporter submits an article to us for publication, it will be reviewed using Grammarly. The automated program goes beyond grammar to help ensure that everything we write is clear, engaging, and professional; while still allowing authors to maintain their own writing style.
