This gif resonates with me as a Autistic person. It is so hard writing emails and talking to people, being so direct with everyone. I have to translate everything I am about to say in either a professional or kind or helpful tone. Sometimes I just want to skip that step or worse I unintentionally skip that step.

oh my god I hate Grammarly.
I HATE it. the free version just red pens your whole thing but DOESN'T tell you how to fix it. just says "passive voice" and "word choice" and "verb tense" which sure I know how to fix, but I'm an english teacher. I'm not a student insecure about their writing ability or someone learning english as a second language, which is who they market to.
(and then in order to get the actual fixes you need to pay for premium, which is just so shady. 'Let us tell you how much you suck at writing, then you'll HAVE to buy our product.')
And its AI is just not good enough to do what it markets itself as doing. Like the word choice corrector? what the hell. It doesn't like "a huge piece of evidence" but it does like "a vast piece of evidence." Vast and Huge mean DIFFERENT THINGS. that is NOT HOW YOU USE VAST.
the free grammar/typo checker on freakin google docs is better.

Y'all. I've been writing for a very long time now. I still get all twisted up with tenses. Like what part of my brain do I need to switch on to get that shit nailed down. Must this be a lifetime's burden? My cross to bear? My boulder to roll up the hill? Where is the switch! Pull the lever Kronk! Help me Obi-wan! Where's the ghost of Jane Austen when you need her? I bet she never fudged her tenses.

For a few months now, I’ve been helping @meraki-sunset​​ with spelling and grammatical errors on her Crow Strider AU comic. It’s nothing big, just small fixes, sometimes catching an art error. I’ve enjoyed helping Meraki make those improvements.
Pictured here is Viiveh (my oc/trollsona) making corrections to Meraki’s script and teaching the extremely dumb nuances of english.

Okay general question
Which usage of they is grammatically incorrect, if any?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I've been taught since the third grade that they/them is one of those genderless pronouns such that you can use them if the gender of the subject(s) are unknown. Do you agree?

Fun little Spanish Quirk!
Idk if there's any official rule of this but this is a rule I realized existed a couple of years ago and I want to share it with ya'll!
Okay so you may or may not know that in Spanish, to minimize a word, you add "ito/a" at the end of a word.
For example:
Perro= Perrito
Carro= Carrito
Rápido= Rapidito
Silla= Sillita
Casa= Casita
Sometimes you add "cito" so that it sounds nicer:
Cafe= cafecito
However, some people will add "ico" instead of ito, and I realized it follows this rule:
If the constant of the last syllable contains a 't', then you can use "ico/a"
For example:
Pato=Patico
Gato=Gatico
Caliente=Calientico
The only mainstream(at least to Cubans) example I can think of is Jose Martin's poem, Los Zapaticos de Rosa. (which if you haven't read please do! This website has it in English and Spanish. Just be aware the title is better translated as "the little pink shoes")
Some examples of when it DOESN'T work:
Casa≠Casica
Silla≠Sillica
Carro≠carrico
(At least to my ears these sound wrong)
However, apparently people say "perrico," which sounds weird to me, but I saw some backing for it. So idk if it's a hard and fast rule. With that said, I'm pretty sure the "t rule" applies pretty well to most words!
Also, I googled while writing this and forgot there are other diminutives people use, so you can have it properly explained in this article! (also just explains the diminutive rule more eloquently)
So yah, if you Speak/teach Spanish tell me if this checks out or not! And if you're learning Spanish, dw about using it, just stick to the OG rule if it confuses you. This isn't something someone sat down and taught me. It's something I do instinctively and reversed engineered a rule for it afterwards.
Sources! (I ended up googling to get example words/word things better) ⬇️
Quora thread, I used Damain C.Dol's cafecito example and they reminded me of "cito"
Used some of the examples in this article
Quora mentioned perrico(Katja Kaila)
Other Quora perrico mention(Juan Carlos Martin)
