What It Means
Think of corrections were applied as the professional way of saying "we fixed the mistakes." It implies a systematic process. You didn't just scribble out a typo. You identified errors and updated the final version. It sounds very official and objective.
How To Use It
You use this when you want to sound precise. It often appears in the passive voice. This means you don't always have to say who fixed it. It focuses on the fact that the work is now correct. Use it for data, financial reports, or academic papers. It’s like telling your boss, "Don't worry, the math is right now."
When To Use It
Use it in a meeting when someone asks about an old error. It’s perfect for emails to clients. If you are submitting a final thesis, this is your best friend. It shows you are diligent. It also works well in software development. If a bug was fixed, corrections were applied to the code.
When NOT To Use It
Don't use this with your friends at dinner. If you accidentally called your friend the wrong name, don't say corrections were applied. That sounds like a robot trying to be human! Avoid it in casual texts. It’s too stiff for a quick chat about weekend plans. Also, don't use it if you haven't actually fixed the problem yet. That’s just wishful thinking.
Cultural Background
In English-speaking professional culture, there is a big emphasis on "transparency." However, people also like to avoid blame. Using the passive voice were applied is a clever cultural tool. It acknowledges the mistake without pointing a finger at a specific person. It’s the "polite corporate shield."
Common Variations
You might hear the data was corrected or adjustments were made. In a more casual office, someone might say I’ve updated the file. If it’s a very serious legal document, they might use amendments were executed. But corrections were applied remains the gold standard for research and reporting.
