Quick Help: Editing for clear pronoun reference

1. Identify a specific antecedent that each pronoun refers to. If you cannot find a specific antecedent, supply one. (See "ambiguous reference," "vague reference," and "indefinite reference.")
2. If the pronoun refers to more than one antecedent, revise the sentence. If the pronoun and its antecedent are so far apart that the reader cannot connect the two, replace the pronoun with the appropriate noun.
3. Be sure that any use of you refers to your specific reader or readers.
