👉 Consistency in writing refers to maintaining uniformity in style, tone, formatting, and usage throughout a text or document. This includes consistent verb tense, pronoun usage, punctuation, spacing, and formatting of headings and lists. It ensures that the reader can follow the content without confusion and enhances the overall clarity and professionalism of the writing. For instance, if a piece consistently uses the past tense, it avoids the disorienting shift that might occur with alternating between past and present tense. Similarly, consistent punctuation and spacing improve readability, while uniform style (such as formal vs. informal tone) helps maintain the intended audience engagement and message.
