Do / Don’t
| Do | Don’t |
|---|---|
| Invent a crisp title that matches the theme | Write a letter format (address/subject) |
| Use “By Name” under title | Skip byline when question gives a name |
| Expand every bullet cue | Copy cues as a bare list |
| End with 2–3 practical suggestions | End abruptly after describing the problem |
| Keep formal newspaper tone | Mention imaginary sources, PDFs or notes inside the answer |
