Always put a comma after 'Namun', 'Oleh karena itu', and 'Adapun' when they start a sentence. It's the hallmark of a C2 writer.

The 'Justru' Power Move

In a debate, wait for your opponent to finish their point, then start your response with 'Justru itulah...' (That is precisely why...). It immediately turns their argument against them.

The 'Pun' Space

Always put a space in 'apa pun', 'siapa pun', and 'mana pun'. Only join it for words like 'walaupun' and 'meskipun'.
