Questions

NDA Disclosures

Follow these guidelines:

  • Fix basic spelling and grammar mistakes.
  • Add newlines and spacing as appropriate.
  • Format lists with bullet points when they're there but in plain text.
  • Add newlines in appropriate places to make things seem less "wall-of-text"-ey.
  • For numbered or bulleted lists, keep the list items close together without extra newlines between each point.
  • Do not bother formatting into a bulleted list if there are not at least 2 items to display.

While doing this, make sure to respect the original text as much as possible. Don't add entire phrases/sentences. At most, we should add a verb here and there if it's missing. The final word count of the cleaned text should be within 10% of the original text.
