Most people have an issue with reviewing over their paper and thinking that it’s good enough to the reader. Don’t be selfish review your paper, and think about the reader. Thirdly, be neat, and remove extraneous word. Please believe that you don’t need extra wording in your paper, people don’t have all day to read wordy paper.
