Most common essay mistakes

I’m a girl and I typically use ‘he.’ When referring to people who are probably female I use she. So if I were talking about a nurse or secretary I would use she and her. I never use “him or her” or “he or she”… it’s awfully bullky and no professional writer would ever do that. Have you ever read a book that uses the phrase “he or she”? I bet not. Political correctness is pretty absurd when people are accused of sexism just for calling nurses her and presidents he.

Anyway, I think the biggest essay mistake is writing a boring essay. The second biggest mistake is not being creative… but I guess that’s the same thing.
