R0H1TDid he finally stop using grammarly then?

Not that I know of. I quit and work at TPU now :)..sooo not my problem anymore.

Gimme a job, I never drink and work, promise.

I generally find the AI approach to language or linguistics underwhelming, sentience though!

My vote is for anyone who can handle my long ass reviews and accept that some things I'll always get wrong because english is a bitch.

@W1zzard send out a unpublish review awaiting editing as a test. Might weed out the weak.

Actually, apart from my wonky posts where I'm under influence, I have a huge urge to correct everything in the articles and the comments. But mods are sensitive and won't tolerate my inner grammar nazi.

Dr. DroSounds like a dream job to me! Good luck to all candidates :)

Hi,
Clearly you've never been the water boy at a ladies wet tee shirt contest :laugh:

Forums are informal and should stay that way. Reviews on the other hand is a joint effort. Person writing should always put the best forward and proof-reader should catch the stupid stuff, question the legitimacy of statements and flow of sentences, not actually fix anything. A editor. Edits the text. Less interpretation, heavy emphasis on the fixing part

The web says Definition of proofread : to read and mark corrections in (something, such as a proof). Editor : to prepare (something, such as literary material) for publication or public presentation. So which is it?

Which brings up this. I've been calling the proofreader an editor this whole time because I just assumed proofreader is another term for editor... until now that I looked it up. I'm sure someone could make the distinction more clear and what Wiz is actually looking for.

I am a grammar nazi. Well.. maybe not that extreme. I correct anyone who uses poor or incorrect grammar under my roof much to the annoyance of everyone. It’s a bad habit. The same goes for spelling. I usually won the class spelling bee.. a girl beat me once. She was pretty smart though, maybe even smarter than me.. but shh. There is always going to someone smarter than you anyways right? :D

I actually wanted to be an English teacher when I was younger.. I should have followed through with it, but nearly half of a lifetime of poor choices awaited me instead lol.. yay..

ir_cownot actually fix anything. A editor.

An editor.

For instance lol..

I am not trying to single you out, it’s just an example :D

The Brits, Canadians and Aussies write 'theatre, centre, and colour' just for an example which makes no sense.

Like Americans using Imperial instead of Metric?

:D

Thats fine. Just typing on my phone. Once again. forums are informal.

Hi,
I wouldn't worry about American english stuff we will figure out what your saying.

ir_cowThats fine. Just typing on my phone. Once again. forums are informal.

Like I said, I wasn’t trying to single you out :)

freeagentLike Americans using Imperial instead of Metric?

:D

Doesn't the UK also use (their) imperial units?

freeagentLike I said, I wasn’t trying to single you out :)

I'm sure I drive you crazy because I don't care to fix it lol

ir_cowI'm sure I drive you crazy because I don't care to fix it lol

Nah we are on the forums, I have gotten used to it, it doesn’t bother me much here.. but I still notice :D

I feel sorry for the poor guy who'll have to correctly capitalise the three-letter name of that British chip designer. And their product, the architecture, which is spelled the same but not always capitalised the same.

R0H1TDoesn't the UK also use (their) imperial units?

Pretty sure we all use both.. I know when we make metric parts we just convert to imperial because that’s how the machines are setup to run.
