Use the % sign with a numeral in most cases: 61% of voters, a 5.5% tariff. Spell out percentage when no number is given: The percentage of voters citing gas prices has increased. apnews.com/article/d2f5d5aa7…

If we are to avoid losing our humanity amid a “paradise of machines” invading and conditioning our daily lives, there is an urgent need for education in ethical discernment and the capacity to acknowledge the moral good. This is indispensable if we are to recognize the genuine good that enables human beings to flourish in accordance with their primordial vocation, with unconditional respect for their interior freedom and their sacred dignity. #ApostolicJourney #France vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

In general, use only last names on second reference. When it is necessary to distinguish between two people who use the same last name, generally use the first and last name on subsequent references. Generally use the name a person prefers: Thomas or Tom, depending on preference; Martine McCarthy Chang may prefer McCarthy Chang or Chang on second reference.

A 'gerund' is a kind of noun that looks like a verb. Gerunds end in '-ing,' just like the present participle of a verb. It might be hard to tell the difference between a gerund and an '-ing' verb. If it's a gerund, it'll be acting like a noun.
i saw a tweet from a professor that said everyone under the age of 30 begins sentences with gerunds and it’s haunted me ever since

Use the singular "athletic" in athletic director unless it appears otherwise in a formal title, such as a school district with an athletics director. AD is acceptable on second reference.

If a person suffocates in water or other fluid, the proper statement is that the individual drowned. To say that someone was drowned implies that another person caused the death by holding the victim's head under the water.
