We present today our top two handpicked post choices of last week, together with some statistics given at the end of this post. The selection process has been made by @lemouth (feel free to volunteer and help if you feel so).

Please do not be discouraged if you did not make it on this issue. The chances to be picked are low. In the meantime, you may wish to check these guidelines for extra tips on how your writing could be more effective (or ask for a mentor on Discord).
