Use a straight line under phrases or passages that are clear and effective, and a wavy line below phrases and passages that are unclear. Circle words or passages where the language, style, discourse or approach seems inappropriate. Brackets around sentences [ ] draw attention to the sentence--see marginalia. A "G" draws attention to global issues, an "S" to sentence or style issues, and an "L" to local or mechanical problems.
