I write stuff all the time and typically use grammarly for corrections.
It works great and would catch 98% of this stuff. Plus its free. There is a premium version for 20 bucks a month that has even more features.
Its boils down to laziness. Pure and simple.
Id love to be able to use this excuse at work.
I was tired!!!!!
Sign of the times I guess. Its always someones elses fault. Those same folks though will preach to you about personal responsibility etc. Unreal.
LOL
This is not a zinger at all...I write a lot too. It's easy to miss stuff. Heck, my buddy and I started a blog about UGA sports this year that I may drop a link to every once in a while when we write about something being discussed on the forum. Not going to do that now.
But for @MikeGriffith and anybody else that might be interested—professionals or you other hobbyist UGA bloggers—y'all should check out Pro Writing Aid. It hit the market before Grammarly did and it's awesome for less money. It's like having your own personal writing coach for when a copy editor isn't around and you'd like a second look.
I love you all so much that this link isn't even my referral link.
Have not tried that one myself RetiredRedcoat but im sure it works
Point is there is technology that can mitigate some of this stuff. But, and this is the problem, it requires some short term pain learning the software etc. I have to remind myself that not everyone is as tech savy as others.
But the long term benefit would be obvious to anyone who gives one of these options a fair chance.
A lot of the painfully obvious stuff would be easily cleaned up.
Cool. How come I cant see who DV'd me?
That question is out of my pay grade. But @ghostofuga1 is willing to check for you $10 a month. I'm not afraid to price myself competitively though
I'll give you a free one though...I DV you
No seriously, I tried seeing who DV me on this thread and I couldn't. I could see who UV me, but not DV
It changed a while back. No idea why. I don't like the idea personally but it is what it is
Just a shot in the dark here, but I'd imagine it's to prevent retaliatory DVs.
@MikeGriffith I definitely respect that you owned up to the mistake and didn't dance around it. Thank you for your hard work and otherwise great content! I look forward to reading many more fantastic articles from you in the future.
Took no time for this thread to go full millenial on us...
What’s best is it completely missed my point, which is what usually happens
It usually does with most of the crowd on this forum...
The articles can still be understood. It’s free content. Just drop the writer a note and keep it pushing... or... pay for your content and then demand more.
