you could follow the genuinely funny poster who is going to be gone in 6 months, or you could follow me, the mediocre-to-okayish poster who's been on tumblr for 11.5 years and will be here until the flames finally reach and destroy the data center with our precious memories
did laundry and showered today you knowwwww i'm hitting that clean sheets clean jammies clean me trifecta tonight
bro im bedcelled. im comfypilled. im literally cozymaxxing.
âhonkpilled shoomaxxer
straight up "snorkin' it". and by "it" haha, well. let's just say. mimimi
Calling romances without sex "clean" smells like far right bullshit.
me, quietly whispering to the ao3 page of an author who doesnât even know I exist: I am obsessed with you
me, whispering to the ao3 page of an author who hasnât updated anything in four years: I think about you often and I hope youâre alright
me, whispering to the ao3 page of an author who wrote one life altering banger and nothing else: I hope your pillow is cool and your skin is clear and you find money in a forgotten jeans pocket
me, whispering to every single person on this post: please leave one singular comment saying literally any of that
easily the funniest part of the wigan kebab video is that the guy who's walking in like he's just stepped into an alien planet is from liverpool and lives, at maximum, an hour's drive away
people in the notes like 'its a personal failing to not know every town in your country' as if there is a reason to go to wigan
they put my blood through every test under the sun and yet nowhere in the pages and pages of lab reports do they tell me what my blood type is
your neutrophils absolute? 2.71. anion gap? why, that's 11! hemoglobin A1C? a solid 5.4. and don't fret, champâyour VLDL (calculated) is a cool 12. real fascinating stuff. hm? what's that? you want to know what kind of blood you have? like, so you won't have to look your next ER nurse in the eye and tell her you have no clue what type you have right after giving her a date of birth that confirms you are over 30 years old? psh, don't be silly! we can't tell you that! it's a â¨secretâ¨
do you know your blood type??
yes, I'm certain of it
I think my family told me what it was but I'm not sure/no recent test to confirm
no, I have no clue
I don't have blood/results
me, feeling confident about my writing:
grammarly, ready to tell me about the 700+ mistakes i made:
Unsolicited commentary from a professional copyeditor:
A: every single person makes grammar mistakes.
I have my writing read over by others because you know what you meant, so your brain automatically fills in the right thing. Also, copyediting is its own trained skill which is separate from writing. (Hence the profession!) While writers should definitely have some of those skills, given the horrors that I see from professional writers I do not expect amateur writers to be low on mistakes.
So thatâs my first point - everyone makes mistakes in their own writing. Copyeditors make them, professional writers make them, amateur writers make them.
B: take Grammarly with an entire shaker of salt.
Your writing does have mistakes, I guarantee it, but Iâd say for most people about half to two thirds of what Grammarly comments on is valid. Grammarly is like if a 3rd grade teacher with a grudge against children who just goes down the page slashing everything with red, had a baby with an old-school robot of the type that breaks down with a âdoes not computeâ if you ask it to calculate the last digit of pi.
B1: In most situations, your writing should not be 100% grammatically âcorrectâ. Stylistic writing requires stretching some grammar norms and breaking others, and almost all writing is stylistic. Some is really obviously stylistic - dril writes Like That on purpose - and some is more subtly so, but if you arenât doing technical writing or in a 3rd grade English class, youâre stylizing. You should be stylizing. Otherwise Grammarly could write your thing for you.
B2: Grammarly is sometimes just flat-out wrong. Languages are complex, sentences are complex, and computers being able to parse human language at all is a VERY recent concept. Grammarly canât always figure out what that pronoun was meant to refer to, or where that clause actually ended.
TL;DR: Your writing definitely has mistakes and thatâs not because youâre a bad writer. Do look at everything Grammarly says!!! But also half of what Grammarly says you may disagree with after looking, and you may not be wrong to do so.
Youâre saving lifes here, pal.
Unsolicited commentary from a professional writer:
Learn to edit your own work.
Buy these:
The Elements of Editing is for writers, too.
Ask yourself: If I didnât have a computer, could I write confidently? Would I know whether my grammar is correct?
You need to know the rules. You need to know how to recognize if somethingâs wrong and how to fix it on your own.
When I hear writers say Grammarly makes their writing better I have to say: For the entire history of humankind until we had PCs, every single writer learned how to edit her or his own work. Every. Single. One.
Homer, Sun Tzu, Virgil, Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Alexandre Dumas, Charles Dickens, Emily Dickinson, Mark Twain, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, Harper Lee, Agatha Christie.
ALL of them self-edited their work. And then editors, who also learned to edit without computers, helped them polish their work.
Itâs not difficult. Of course it takes time to learn. Becoming very good at something always does.
Like all computer programs Grammarly is flawed. If you donât know the rules of grammar by heart then you wonât know when Grammarly is wrong. And you could submit or post work that makes people shake their heads and say, âDamn, this writerâs sloppy.â
I know editors who say they can tell when a writer has used a computer program like Grammarly and when the writer self-edits. And the self-edited work is always better.
Of course youâll make mistakes. But youâll make fewer, and when you see them you can fix them. Correctly.
For godâs sake, become a real writer. Learn how to write, not to obey a fucking algorithm.
Tiny addition from me, I learned to edit from other bloggers online. I learned to edit from infographics on Pinterest, some of which were totally wrong or biased, but I learned that eventually too. Some people have a better eye for errors than others, but whoâs to say they didnât train that eye first?
You can pick up books on editing at the library for free, or you can start reading whatâs already here at your fingertips.
If you havenât changed your url in years tell me why as someone in your same boat itâs for science
