Cut Hedging Language
Added 2026-11-01
Remove may, probably and somewhat, then see which claims cannot stand.
Here is a paragraph full of hedges. Do: 1) mark every "may", "probably", "somewhat", "seems", "relatively"; 2) delete them and reread — which sentences still stand, which collapse; 3) for the collapsed ones, offer two choices: add evidence, or state it more honestly; 4) point out the one hedge that must stay to avoid misunderstanding; 5) give one writing rule to remember.

How to use
删掉限定词后站不住的句子，本来就不该写。
Try tweaking it
- Ask for three openings in different tones, then pick one.
- Replace "make it better" with concrete limits: length, reader, facts to keep.
What you should get
- A publishable draft, not an outline
- A short changelog: what changed and why
Common mistakes
- Letting it guess the facts, so plausible-looking sources get invented.
- Dumping the whole text with just "polish it" — the result still has no point.
How to check the output
- The conclusion comes first; deleting the opening paragraph does not break it.
- Every fact, number and quote traces back to the source text.
Where it works
- Good for: turning a rambling draft into a conclusion-first, shorter version.
- Watch out: keep sources and figures verbatim — do not let it invent citations.
