Cheat sheets

Our cheat sheets offer shortcuts to improving your writing. They provide lists of problem words or phrases with alternatives you can use.

Ideas for using the cheat sheets

  • Print and keep on your desk as a handy reference—there’s a print version linked at the bottom of each page
  • Email them to your colleagues
  • Make a one-page version focusing on common problems in your web content. Send it to your colleagues
  • Create a monthly cheat sheet so you don’t bombard colleagues with too much information, but give them regular, gentle reminders of ways to improve their writing
