Emma Hearnes is a word whisperer and comma connoisseur with an Associate Degree of Professional Writing and Editing from RMIT University.
Her hobbies include mending broken lists, catching dangling modifiers and unravelling the mysteries of the semicolon. You will find her advocating for the en dash; you will not find her interrupting conversations to correct grammar.
So your words need polishing…
