Hi, there! Thanks for doing this!
Saidiya.

And oh, lord, I've misspelled it half the time. Could you fix it, please? (Sorry.)
(I know what I did: I spelled it wrong once, and kept copying...)
Subbing Lose Your Mother

Oh: Would you mind changing one sentence?
>>In 1792, he used an atrocity committed aboard a slave ship called the Recovery, in an attempt to raise public outrage.<<
To:
In 1792, in an attempt to raise public outrage, he drew attention to an atrocity committed aboard the slave ship Recovery.
That sentence bothered me when I re-read it - it's not exactly a misplaced modifier, but it could be misread if someone overlooks the comma.
Key: Complain about this post
