Stop saying “Make it sound more professional”

WritingDon't say

“Make it sound more professional”

It turns into a pile of stock phrases: long, empty, and nothing like a person wrote it.

Say this

Keep my meaning and my tone. Only swap vague or overly casual wording for precise wording. Don't add filler phrases, and don't make it any longer than the original.

Xiaoting says

When people say "more professional," they usually mean "more precise." Tell it to replace only the imprecise words and not to make it longer, and what comes back is still your writing.

Keep these in mind

Professional doesn't mean stiff
Protect your meaning and tone
Cap the length
