#american english grammar checker

[mazerunnersecretsanta]

I read somewhere on this blog how an author could get in touch with a beta reader but I just can't find that post again. Could you explain it to me again or link the post? Thanks!

Yes, no problem!

The TMRSS beta process:

Please email us at mazerunnersecretsanta@outlook.com and:

Let us know which ship(s) are included in your fic, if there are any warnings or any NSFW content, and which kind(s) of beta you would like: canon (fact checker); language 1 (spelling, grammar, punctuation etc.); language 2 (British vs American English etc.); plot and characterisation

Send us your fic as a text file/a link to a google doc

We will then match you with a beta reader and upload your fic text into a google doc on the TMRSS drive. We will send both you and your beta a link to this TMRSS google doc, and you can then both edit and comment on it, whilst still staying anonymous. 

We ask that you always access this document anonymously, without being signed into your google account, so that the beta doesn't know who the author (you!) is. 

Let us know if you have any questions!

I feel like google docs grammar checker got worse the past couple of months. It’s telling me to replace words like apparate with appear, and and I’m just like, “Apparate is just a magical way for something to appear. Stop making it boring.” Or it will tell me to redo a sentence in a way that’s missing a word or two, and it no longer makes sense if I were to do so.

Then the spellchecker is also worse. When I set it to Canadian English before, it was fine. Now it keeps telling me to use American spelling despite this fact. Seeing all the red and blue lines when nothing was wrong before is annoying, and it’s no wonder the grammar of stuff I read recently online has gotten worse when the writer was fine before. It’s genuinely harder to read fics because of it. I can’t help but redo the sentences in my head to understand what’s happening better, and it kills the pacing the writer has set for their story.

[feralgayemo]

for the fun and entertainment in writing any paper: have two different grammar checkers. set one to american english and the other to british english. enjoy!

[starweed]

adding some more (i don’t know if these are common or not, just offering them up)

trousers are referred to as pants

pants are referred to as underwear

briefs/underpants are shorts

jumper/pullover/sweater/jersey all typically fall under the category of sweater

a vest is called an undershirt

a waistcoat is called a vest

a macintosh is called a raincoat

plimsols are called gym shoes

trainers are called sneakers

braces are called suspenders

suspenders do the same job a garter belt does, which is hold up stockings

a dressing gown is called a robe

a nappy is called a diaper

a pinny/apron is simply referred to as an apron

a polo neck is called a turtle neck

dressing gowns are called bath robes

a swimming costume/cozzy is called a bathing suit

dungarees are called overalls

a windscreen is called a windshield

a carpark is called a parking lot

a holiday is called a vacation

awesome is typically used in the same context as ace(?) (i.e. “wow! that’s awesome!)

americans also use the word lollygag to indicate that someone’s wasting time (i.e. “quit that lollygagging, we’ve got things to do”)

a wad of mucus (typically from the nose) in america would be called a booger

british english and american english also typically structure sentences differently, if you really want to write your characters with an american or british accent.

in the past tense british english uses present perfect (i.e. “yeah, i’ve just gotten off work.) while american english typically uses past simple (i.e. “yeah, i just got off work”).

british english also uses the word “got” as the past tense of “get” while in american english you use “gotten” depending on the context. in american english you’d say “you could’ve gotten hurt!” while in british english you’d say “you could’ve got hurt!” but you wouldn’t say “have you gotten any money?” in american english.

in british english you can use a singular or plural verb with a collective noun (a noun that refers to a group of people or things). in british english you could say, “my team is winning the match!” (singular) or “my team are winning the match!” (plural) while in american english you always use a singular verb with a collective noun.

in british english you could say, “i’m going to have a shower” or you could say, “i’m going to take a shower” while in american english you would only say the former (same goes for break, holiday, and rest in relation in resting).

in america you don’t really use the word “shall” (unless it’s for a bit, or something pretty formal), you’d typically use “should i?” or “do you want to?” instead (or “i will” instead of “i shall”)

american english also typically uses the word “spelled” over “spelt” but nobody really pays attention to those differences besides grammar checkers. some americans (including myself) often prefer the british english spellings of words.

anyway, i’m very normal about the differences in the different english dialects (and these are only the two most commonly spoken, without even including regional dialects or counting other countries that speak english)

sources:

https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/grammar/b1-b2-grammar/british-english-american-english

thank you for coming to my monologue about two dialects of the english language.

Words/phrases I often see from British/Australian writers while writing American characters (and some American alternatives because I know it’s tricky!):

Bugger (American: fucker)

Flat (American: apartment, “my place”)

Bloke (American: guy, asshole, dude)

Queue (American: line, checkout line)

Cuppa (American: cup of tea, hot tea)

Shite (American: bullshit, shit, crap)

Some of these are regional, like all of the various American words for the British “trolley” (American: shopping cart, buggy, cart, etc) but most of the above words are pretty ubiquitous.

Ultimate Guide to Proofreading

Here’s the next installation of my writing tips series!

[Just a quick disclaimer: this isn’t meant to discourage anyone! We are all still learning. These are just some tips you may want to consider when editing your writing].

As a language / linguistics student, I tend to focus on the grammar, or just the overall presentation of my writing. Obviously, if you’re writing online or self-publishing, without a beta reader that is, then no one is going to scrutinise you over the small things.

However, it can elevate your writing SO MUCH if you simply proofread it. Often, I find myself taken out of the immersion of a story because a typo is so glaringly obvious. Most of the time, we can gloss over them and they don’t impact the reading experience too much - but if your work is littered with small errors, they tend to pile up.

Proofreading is an easy way to get your readers to stick with you - and it often doesn’t even take that long! You just need to know HOW to proofread, and it will save you time. 

1) Spell Checkers

I know this seems really obvious, but I read so much work that could be improved tenfold just by being copied-and-pasted into a spell checker. You can literally type ‘spell checker’ into Google, and use an online service.

Personally, I use Google Docs. I just Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, and Ctrl+V my work into it - and it will underline the spelling mistakes in red, and the grammar errors in blue. 

It’s as easy as that.

2) Consistency and General Grammar Points

This section is by NO MEANS an exhaustive list, but I’ve just compiled the things I’ve noticed the most when reading online. 

American English vs. British English:

This one is quite self-explanatory. If you’re going to use American spellings, then use them consistently throughout - and vice versa with British. Some common ones to look out for include:

color / colour

neighbor / neighbour

humor / humour

(US/UK respectively)

I found a good article here that gives a more comprehensive list.

Homophones or the Question of Verb / Noun:

You may want to double-check that you’ve used the right form of a word (verb / noun) - especially if they sound the same. 

affect / effect

hoard / horde

practice / practise***

*See this article.

allowed / aloud

were / where

I know these can sometimes get a little tricky for non-native speakers - especially since English is really quite a weird language. But these are the most common errors I’ve picked up on.

A lot of the time, things like Google Docs won’t spot these - so it’s good to be aware of the TYPES of errors you’re trying to find.

Also, remember that Google Search is your friend. I can’t even count the number of times I look things up when writing - THERE IS NO SHAME IN IT. It doesn’t take long to check if you’re using a word in the correct context, or the correct form of the word.

Showing Possession:

A lot of people tend to get confused about using the genitive marker, apostrophe ‘-s’ to show possession. See the examples below:

[Disclaimer: don’t judge my name choices...]

Jade has a bag. That is Jade’s bag.

Jade Simpson has a bag. That is Jade Simpson’s bag.

Jade Simpson lives with her husband, John Simpson. They are the Simpsons.

That is the Simpson household. That is the Simpsons’ house.*** 

*This is the one most people struggle on. There are two Simpsons, so the apostrophe comes at the end to show PLURAL possession (i.e., belonging to BOTH Jade and John).

This is Jess. That is Jess’ bag.

Here, the above can be written as Jess’s, but the extra (-s) usually gets ellided if it is following an ‘s’.

Another thing people get confused about is its/it’s. 

In English, ‘it’s’ = a contraction of ‘it + is’ (NOT TO SHOW POSSESSION). ‘Its’ is the possessive form in this case.

E.g., The dog lost its collar; it is brown = The dog lost its collar; it’s brown (the collar is brown).

Punctuation Consistency:

Personally, I don’t mind what style of punctuation you use. Whether you put your full stops INSIDE your quotations, or OUTSIDE;

E.g., “Go away.” vs “Go away”.

or if you sometimes like using hyphens in place of a comma; likewise with capitalisation, and whether you decide to capitalise certain nouns etc.

But, whatever you choose, BE CONSISTENT WITH IT.

You don’t want to give your readers whiplash by changing styles every couple of lines. Otherwise, it’s like you’ve chosen one academic referencing style for your essay, only to switch it half-way through. It’s confusing. It may seem like a nit-picking point, but people will notice it - and it’s good written practice to focus on being consistent.

3) Formatting:

Dialogue:

PLEASE PLEASE start a new paragraph/line if SOMEONE NEW IS SPEAKING.

Your readers will be so confused if you don’t properly distinguish who is speaking. It takes away from the reading experience when you think one character has said a line, but it turns out to be another. 

Don’t just rely on “[...]” John said. We should know if someone new is speaking by the format, not just the name that follows the dialogue.

Paragraphs:

Don’t let your work be one block of text. Break it up and make it more digestible for your readers. Try to start a new paragraph for a new topic, place, thought, etc. You can find some really great guides online that go into more detail. Personally, I think it’s quite a stylistic thing - but you should still be consistent in how you choose to establish your paragraphs.

4) Other Things to Look out For

Detography: Have you written a word twice?

Pronouns: Are you using the following correctly?

their/they’re/there

your/you’re

Tenses: Are you sticking to the same tense? Are your verbs all conjugated in the same tense? Do you switch tense half-way through?

Repetition: Are you relying on the same words a lot. Are you using the same verb / descriptive word very close together?

For this, I just make a quick Google search:

E.g., “said synonym” or “angry synonym” - it adds variety to your writing.

Character Names: This seems obvious, but make sure you’ve spelt them correctly throughout - same goes for place names etc.

5) READ YOUR WORK ALOUD

I really can’t stress this enough. Even after studying language, literature and linguistics for as long as I have, I still miss so many of my own errors if I don’t read my work aloud. My editing process literally involves:

Write the draft

Read over the draft and correct any glaring errors

Copy and paste into a spelling/grammar checker

Re-read the new work and edit again

Read aloud and edit as I go

Final read through

Obviously I don’t do this every time - but it shows just how easy it is to miss mistakes when you’re still finding them during step 6.

6) Bribe a Beta-Reader (or a Friend)...

This is a really helpful step if you are able to find someone willing to check over your work. Often, we become blind to our own writing after we’ve read over the same thing a number of times. It can be really useful to get someone to take a look at it with fresh eyes!

Disclaimer: These are just some things I’ve noticed that I tend to look for in my own work. Also, I want to make a point of saying that English is a strange language, so please don’t be discouraged if you’re a non-native speaker feeling confused. I still get confused!

Also, please feel free to ask me any questions! I might not always be available to give a full beta-read of your work, but if you have any queries relating to grammar etc., don’t hesitate to drop me a message!

[piebingo]

I know anglophones try to tell us (me) that learning French is harder than having to learn English which might be true with all of our weird grammar rules, but have you ever had to Google which spelling was right in your country? Like who decided Canada was a mix of British and American spelling. How am I to know what spelling is right when I learn from reading books published in different countries and from reading subtitles on tv? Even online spelling and grammar checkers or wtv they’re called don’t know how I’m supposed to write things half the time. At least in French we don’t add or substract letters according to our nationality

back-to-school tools

‘tis the season again, so here are some handy websites and browser extensions i’ve discovered over the past few years that’ll hopefully make this year a bit easier for you. i’m taking high-school-level classes, but a lot of these should help with college/uni work, too!

feel free to reblog and add your own recommendations :)

the only ones you have to install and/or sign up for have an asterisk, but note that they’re all free either way.

L A N G U A G E   A R T S

planet ebook

this is my go-to for digital (and legal!) classic literature. i download the pdf files and upload them to places like one note to annotate, but epub and mobi versions are also available if you prefer those. no need to break your back over hauling textbooks and your required readings!

audible stories

this doesn’t have the widest selection of audio books, but it definitely has its uses! there are a lot of classics on there, which could come in handy for a literature or english class.

easybib

this is the best citation tool ever. i love that i can choose which style i want to use and what kind of media i’m researching with (books, journals, websites, etc.). if i need to, i can go in and edit any (citation) category i want, but that isn’t usually necessary because it can find stats that even i can’t while looking at the source. enter some info, copy ‘n paste the works cited list to your paper, and you’re done!

i recommend the web version and not the google docs add-on because the add-on doesn’t let you customize your citations

gradeproof* or grammarly*

these are both grammar/spelling checkers that provide plenty of stats, which are most useful for speeches. you can use these to see your character count, word count, number of sentences, syllables per word, words per sentence, readability, grade level, reading time, speaking time, etc.

wordcounter

this is a great alternative if you can’t/don’t want to install gradeproof or grammarly.

powerthesaurus

this is my go-to thesaurus... it has a ton of features if you go on the website (it’s not just for synonyms, though those are seemingly endless!). plus, if i don’t want to open a new tab, i can use the extension in my toolbar to see a brief list!

just a word of caution: look up any words you don’t know (because if you go far enough down the list, they’re not completely relevant anymore).

onelook

i use this reverse dictionary to find the word that’s on the tip of my tongue but i just can’t name (though it has a lot more features than that!).

cueprompter

this is the perfect teleprompter for any speeches you need to record (maybe for an online graduation? a virtual debate?).

xodo*

this is a great digital annotation tool (right in your browser) for those of you who don’t have an app like goodnotes on your ipad. you can upload files from your google drive, your device, or dropbox and draw on them, type notes, add comments, highlight, choose different underline patterns, add shapes/arrows, etc. all while customizing opacity, thickness, and colors. you’re also able to zoom in/out, change page width, rotate the page, change your layout (pdf, book, magazine), and choose a transition style.

A R T

canva*

i love this site to death---if you haven’t heard of it yet, what are you doing?? i can design everything from a resume to a powerpoint to a school dance flyer on this thing! there are beautiful templates to choose from, but if that’s not your thing (it isn’t mine either), then there are millions of photos, doodles, graphics, fonts, borders, backgrounds, etc. to choose from. plus, you can even upload your own content. (i designed the header for this post on there!)

F O R E I G N   L A N G U A G E S

typeit

i hate having to remember all the keyboard shortcuts for special characters, so i just copy and paste from this international keyboard. choose a language, and you’re good to go. :)

audible stories

did i put this in two different categories? yes. audible stories has free audio books in english, spanish, french, german, portuguese, italian, dutch, and japanese! i recommend finding a children’s audiobook on there in your target language and pulling up an ebook online so you can improve your listening and comprehension skills. there’s no need to download any content, and it still saves your spot (even once you close the tab), which is a lifesaver!

duolingo*

i think we all know by now that this site is good for practicing your sentence-writing skills and gaining a little extra vocab. keep in mind that this only helps if you take notes on your mistakes and type answers out yourself as opposed to mindlessly clicking through multiple choice questions! duolingo stories are also great for working on your listening comprehension skills and some immersion.

linguno*

i use this site for conjugations because that’s its main asset, but there are other things you can look into if you like. i love that i can choose a section and a level (ex: a1 level one, a1 level two, a1 level three, etc.) or add my own list of words. the rest is super customizable too! you can also choose which tenses you want to work on and what set of pronouns you want to focus on (for example, european spanish uses “vosotros” while latin american spanish does not).

S C I E N C E

molview

build your own molecules or search ones that already exist to explore what they’re used for, their structure, their composition, 2-d/3-d models, formulas, molecular weight, etc.

ptable

this dynamic periodic table has a million features for each element, which makes it perfect for researching and figuring out why the table is laid out the way it is.

phet

this is basically a virtual stem lab---atom-builders, circuit-builders, wave simulations, and interactive tools galore! it covers physics, chemistry, biology, math, and html5, though i’ve only used first three categories, so i can’t exactly recommend the others.

M A T H

geogebra or desmos

these babies are graphing tools perfect for checking functions and all that jazz (they’re basically the exact same except geogebra has a couple more bells and whistles).

symbolab

use this to check your answers and review the steps if you’re stuck! when it gets into some nitty-gritty stuff, you have to have the paid plan to see some of the steps, but i think it’s helpful enough that you can stick with the free version. it covers pre-alg, alg, pre-calc, calc, functions, matrices & vectors, geometry, trig, stats, physics, chem, finance, conversions, etc. (i use this to avoid silly mistakes and the ixl rage that follows haha).

mathway*

this is very similar to symbolab except that it doesn’t show any steps at all unless you pay for a plan. you can use this for basic math, pre-alg, alg, trig, pre-calc, calc, stats, finite math, etc. as a cross-checker in case symbolab is being funky.

gdocs grammar check

ugh so lately google docs has started doing a squiggly blue line under... bad grammar, i think it’s supposed to be? it’s driving me fucking batty because it is literally every other sentence i write, and there is only one time when it turned out I’d hit a spacebar twice. every other time it’s shit like this

[image: screenshot of text reading “the label on the wine bottle” with the words “the wine” underlined with a jagged blue line]

I need to turn this shit the fuck off, it’s driving me insane. 

(I just went through the settings and figured out how to uncheck ‘show grammar suggestions’ but accidentally ran the checker and it turns out it wanted me to say “the bottle of wine” in that sentence. Why??? Most of its other suggestions were very clearly it not understanding the compound past tense or much of anything really.)

[image: text reading “Nobody’d had an eat-in kitchen like this” with “nobody’d had” underlined in blue squiggles]

[image: screenshot of partial lines of text with blue squiggles under the freestanding word “hypnotized” and the phrase “just rumor”]

there is nothing wrong with the word “hypnotized”??? or am I going insane??? and it’s set to American English so why would it object to “just rumor”??? argh.

Anyhow. Go to  Tools--> Spelling and Grammar and uncheck “show grammar suggestions” if you, like me, find this recent addition to the function of Gdocs to be absolutely fucking maddening.

Perfecting Grammar Definitely Is Not Easy!

Mastering grammar is not something that can be done easily, especially if you are not a Native English speaker. The problem arises when it affects your writing overall, and fails to impress your readers. Think for yourself, you have written a beautifully shaped and expressive poetry but you have made grammatical mistakes, and your whole effort goes into waste.

Same goes for content writing, or academic writing. Your teachers and your readers, even the Google Bots check your content’s grammar. If your content is filled with grammatical mistakes, it will not perform well in the search rankings. So what seems to be the solution to checking your grammar? Online grammar checking tools of course!

The Significance of Examining Email

Testing of our email publications and newsletters - not many people do it, however everybody should make this a fundamental part of our advertising campaign list. Many marketing experts will certainly know with testing a deal on a tiny segment of a client data source to gauge feedback, as a result predicting the possible success of a project.

Numerous firms send out test email design newsletters or bulletin updates that do not need a straight response; this can often bring about the believed process that, once constructed, an e-mail is ready to send out.

This can start a harmful habit for the unwary e-mail online marketer. A terribly created or non-tested e-mail can result in inadequate brand name depiction, unreadable text, wrong web links or graphics and in many cases, loss of income.

This may appear evident however it is fantastic the number of newsletters I receive with spelling mistakes and variances. Putting your file with a spell checker is in some cases not enough. For example: spell check will certainly not bring severely created grammar as well you're interest. It wilt only evacuate spilling blunders, not inaccurate phrasing and will certainly often pass over Australian, English and also American variations of words. Proof review your records, or, better-yet, get somebody else to proof read them, making sure they look out for:

Examine all hyperlinks to make sure they are pointing to the proper page or email address. Inaccurate web links can be destructive to a project, specifically if you have a call to activity that causes an online purchase or e-mail questions. If the wrong web page is displayed, a client might have to click via a wide variety of web pages to reach where they wish to go, or worse, give up as well as move on to your rival's site.

Marvey Secret Santa 2017 - Beta List

Dear Santas,

to those of you who create fic as your MSS gift: We proudly present

the Marvey Secret Santa Beta List for 2018!!

Those lovely people have volunteered to beta read your fics. The list will also let you know which kind of beta service they are willing and able to provide:

plot & characterization

canon (”fact checker”)

language 1 (spelling, grammar, punctuation, “correct expressions / right words”)

language 2 (British vs. American English aka “AE-picker”)

Please contact the betas directly, either via ask (their ask boxes should be open) or via chat (in case they aren’t), and then discuss with them what you want and need for your fic.

And please bear in mind that they need some time to do and complete their beta job, so make sure you get your fic to them with enough time left for them to beta and for you to edit - and still make the submission date: Dec., 15th.

(And a little note, because better safe than sorry, right? *g* A couple of the betas are also Santas. Please don’t ask your giftee to beta read their own gift. ;) )

You can find the list here.

Note: We are still taking volunteers.  Please message us and we will add you to the list!

Keep up the good work and spread the Marvey love!!

Aqua & Erin

@You wonderful people who volunteered: You are  amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! :D
