Ahmad Waheed

Ahmad Waheed has spent five years editing academic and professional writing for universities, publishers, and software companies. He founded Grammar Flare after noticing the same handful of mistakes in almost every draft that crossed his desk — and that most grammar guides explained the rule without explaining when it actually matters. Ahmad writes every guide on this site, checking usage questions against Merriam-Webster, the Chicago Manual of Style, and the AP Stylebook, and noting where those sources disagree rather than quietly picking a side.
