About academic writing...
Dear All,
I have three questions. Thank you in advance for your answers.
1) I am using microsoft word as a writing editor.
Since today, the grammer correction has been choosen for American English.
I would like to ask which type of English is the appropriate one
in academic writing; American English or British English?
2) Should I prefer to use "therefore" instead of "So" in academic writing?
3) Do you know any (electronic) document explaining the academic writing essentials
(especially academic grammer)?

Hi
1. It depends whether you are writing for an AmE or BrE audience.
2) It depends on the context. You can use therefore where it is suitable, but you wouldn't write 'I am re-arranging this therefore that the columns are equal.'
3)Sorry no, maybe someone else can help.

Hi Nona the brit,
For the first question:
This is the problem. I dont think that it depends the audience because
the audience in academic writing is the international community.
Science do not have a nationality and is exercised for humanity.
In that sense I am still not clear which type of English is prefereable.
Some say that America leads academic papers and

Hallo,
your question is slightly bizarre for me.
I gather you're not an English native speaker (otherwise you would choose your native lg).
Nor am I. In this situation you can stick to the variety of English that you find more appealing.
I prefer Br English and try to follow the British standards.
I must admit that most of the academic texts I've read came from the USA
