Hello Stylebot subscribers, it's Laura, Stylebot's founder. Some of you already know me and Stylebot's origin story. But many of you don't, so here's a quick version: I started Stylebot for my students at the USC Annenberg School of Journalism because I wanted them to engage with our style guide and other foundational newsroom documents as part of their daily workflow. I've spent my whole career doing newsroom innovation, and I firmly believe that in order for journalism to survive, it must evolve. Stylebot is my contribution to that. It is about taking something that's fundamental to the profession and bringing it into the next era. That's why it's truly such an honor that Stylebot is a finalist in the Next Challenge for Media & Journalism, a competition that recognizes startups that are reinventing media and journalism. You got an email from us last week about voting for Stylebot to win the Public Choice Award, but we're reminding our subscribers that public voting will close May 19. So if you'd like to vote for Stylebot, please do it this week. It only takes a couple minutes, and you can get started here. Your support means the world to us. -Laura 💬 Get reliable, ethical writing advice at your fingertipsImproving your writing means making better choices every day.

Have you ever had to alter a draft of your writing because you confused two homophones? It's easy to do online, but harder if you're using expensive stationery. And what about those instances where you didn't even realize you were using the wrong homophone? Knowing you've been doing it wrong for years can feel like a hangar-size mistake. Any idea where we're going with this? 😉 You might have spotted three sneaky homophones in the sentences above: alter, stationery and hangar. Each has a...
