This page explains how the phrasing guides on BetterWayOfSaying are created, who is responsible for them, and how we try to keep them genuinely useful rather than filler. We publish it because you deserve to know who is behind the advice you're reading.
Who writes the guides
The guides are written primarily by Samz, the developer who built and runs BetterWayOfSaying, based in Kathmandu, Nepal. He works with a small team that helps edit and review each guide, but he is the primary writer and the person accountable for what appears here - not an anonymous content mill. That perspective comes from everyday use: rewording messages, emails, and LinkedIn DMs, which is the same problem the tool itself solves.
Where the examples come from
The example messages in each guide are written specifically for that guide, not copied from other sites. Most start from a real situation - a message that was awkward to send, a reply that needed to be firmer or warmer - and are then adapted so they're general enough to reuse. Names and details in examples are invented for privacy; the situations behind them are real.
How we use AI
We're a rephrasing tool, so it would be strange to pretend we avoid AI. Here's the honest split:
- The tool's suggestions are generated by an AI language model in real time. They are starting points, and we tell you to read them before sending.
- The blog guides are written by Samz and reviewed by our small team. We may use AI as a drafting aid, but every guide is edited line by line, rewritten in our own voice, checked for accuracy, and given real examples before it is published. We do not publish unedited machine output.
Accuracy and updates
Language advice isn't one-size-fits-all, so we aim for guidance that's practical and clearly reasoned rather than absolute. Each guide shows its publish date, and updated guides show an update date. When we improve or correct a guide, we revise it in place and refresh that date.
Corrections
If something here is wrong, unclear, or reads badly, we want to fix it. Email betterwayofsaying@gmail.com or use the contact page, and we'll review it. Reader corrections are one of the main ways these guides get better.
Independence
