As an aside: I do not like the idea behind the Hemingway app. Editing prose is not the same as debugging code. Removing adverbs will not make you a good writer. And the whole idea of having some bot making automated comments on my text as I

Maybe my phrasing was off, but you're misunderstanding my comment. Stepping into a CEO role means you're saying "I can turn this company around." If you fail at that, then you accept the blame. Don't want to catch b

A "witch hunt" is going after someone unfairly. Maybe they're personally unpopular. Maybe they hold an unpopular view. It implies injustice. I don't see that here. This woman has apparently been fairly well proven a chea
