Lawyers use too many commas.

Too many clauses, too.

 Here's a tool to fix both at once:
 
 ✏️ Put your subject NEXT TO its verb.

 Orig: The plaintiff, before checking with her bank, made an offer on the house.

 Rev: The plaintiff made an offer on the house before checking with her bank.

 Rev: Before checking with her bank, the plaintiff made an offer on the house.

 (Either rev is better than the original!)

 And this tool's a triple threat:

 ✔️ You cut 1 clause;

 ✔️ you cut 1-2 commas;

 AND ✔️ you put subject—next to—verb, which boosts readability & flow.

 Try it today!
