i think if a wlw called me hot or smth to show they were into me, then for me to say “i’m a dude”, and them say “ew okay nvm”, would fix me smth smth and then we’re best friends.

I really think I should be given the power over commas on ao3, I need to be able to add commas and remove commas and move commas. And once I prove myself with commas maybe I can be given semicolon powers too I’m not asking for much here

Me obsessively adding extra, unnecessary (probably grammatically incorrect atp) commas to add dramatic pauses so you read out the sentence exactly the way I want you to. I love commas.

I mean..I do work for a very famous hospital but I’m not cutting anyone open (a blessing for everyone). Today was an all-day online training 😴
Larries aren’t really discussing it much (the original article yes - bc it suggested a BUA incoming - but obvi not the retraction)

You’ll note different flavors of bias here 🧐 those that think Harry is bf of the year think it was bc he is “protecting her” and loves her so much this non-offensive article would cause him to retaliate. I suppose it could be a mis-timed thing — was meant to come out later? But they def will not reissue it now I would imagine?
It's a true Christmas miracle, I'm not blocked by ANY of these blogs, lmao, so I could read this, this, and this, thank you so much for sharing! (And it's WILDEEEEE that you work for a hospital, given my job guess???!!) Time has passed, so I have no idea if anything will be reissued, but a little bit of digging on all three of these blogs showed similar articles removing the word "rumored" from Taylor's description as girlfriend, which is new, I guess?? I still have a hunch it's a timing/syndication issue, but it might also be something her team got skittish about (i.e., naming where she was). He's the world's shittiest boyfriend, so I don't think he's gonna lift a finger to help in terms of correcting incorrect info or retractions, etc., which is why my gut says it was a timing issue or she pushed hard for it, and if so, good for her, good for her

Things we loved passionately in our teens but we don’t write academic papers about don’t disappear from our lives, they fossilise into passwords.

I love using parentheses (in a sentence) when they're not at all necessary.

I am probably the only person in my vicinity who side-eyes the Print dialog for not accepting en-dashes when inputting a custom number range for pages.
“1–2�� = “Invalid page range, use e.g.” 1-2 instead.
The en-dash is correct punctuation, dagnabbit!
(However, the hyphen is slightly more convenient to type, and given that many people aren’t aware that en-dashes are used for number ranges, I do humbly concede on this one.)

Shout out to the one time Word tried to make me replace 'tie a knot' with 'get married'. The character was TYING OFF A BANDAGE!
Thanks to intrusive AI implementations turning most grammar products into a festering bucket of inaccurate shit being used to steal our work and feed the yawning maw of technological enshitification under corporate greed, I've pretty much disabled all of my editing software and am just raw-dogging the writing experience like it's 2012.
But sometimes, even the native Word editor makes a suggestion that's so fucking dumb I have to pause and pinch my nose and ask, "Baby doll, are you fucking high?" as I mark the suggestion as wrong.
What I had written: He tipped his head back, baring his throat to those sharp, gleaming teeth.
Word's suggestion: He bore his throat.
That's it. That's the suggestion for "clarity and conciseness." Just remove three-quarters of the sentence and use the completely wrong word for the implied action.
I miss Clippy.
