3K Followers 4K FollowingCertain #words are often misspelled. Check out this list from @writing_tips.
Encountering misspelled words is always an eyesore. Can you relate? What are the misspelled words that really get on your nerves?🤔
@writing_tips I'm with Chicago on this one.
@writing_tips Misleading connectives usually fall inside the quotes for my epic fantasy writing, so I lean towards whatever matches the desired time period or speaker tone.
@writing_tips No. As well as is an augmentation and somewhat comparative to the original, whereas the word AND is additive to the original. If that makes any sense. It did in my mind.
@writing_tips Just winging it here, but to my ears, "as well as" is more parenthetical. Like "by the way..." "And" sounds more like part of the same thought. When I'm editing, I generally take out commas before "and"; then I stick them in before the next clause.
@Wordrider @writing_tips The difference is grammatical. “A and B are” but “A as well as B is.”
@writing_tips Strunk & White says don't use 3 words if 1 word will do.
@writing_tips B- each individual scout received a rating, as opposed to each scout receiving the rating of the group as a whole. Could also be “their” if you think of it as a singular possessive (more common today) but if they’re all Girl Scouts its traditional to use “her” by default
A good way to start learning
From 'stand up' to 'stand for,' delving into the dynamic phrasal verbs around 'stand.' 📘 Which one resonates with you the most? Share your thoughts! #EnglishExpressions
@writing_tips Only if on both sides of the however there is a full main clause/stand alone sentence. 'We wanted to go to the movies; however, with the amount of rain out there, we decided to stay home.' :-)
@writing_tips Both my personal opinion and from how divided the replies are. Use what you want its all made up anyway. 'Are' or 'where' sound fine but if you want to use is then live it up
@writing_tips I am losing it. "Much" above should be "more."
@AnnieMars11 @writing_tips Conclusions is the object of the preposition. It is not the subject. The verb is is.
Adding “grammatically chic 💼✨” to my LinkedIn post-haste
Ever heard 'ain't' ain't a word? 🤔 Well, here's the plot twist: it actually IS! 'Ain't' has secured its spot in the dictionary. But don't rush to use it in your essays—it's marked as non-standard English! Stay grammatically chic! 💼✨ #GrammarMyths #EnglishLearning…
@writing_tips Suggests is correct as data can be a collective noun.
@writing_tips Data is plural But Britanica swears It can be used with both Plural and singular verbs Singular sounds weird My answer is: Data suggests Plural subject with plural verbs singular subject with singular verb Smoking is
@writing_tips Technically, "data" is a plural noun—it is the plural form of the noun "datum." However, it is used with both singular and plural verbs. The data show a decrease in visitors to state parks. The data shows a decrease in visitors to state parks. I'm a conversational copywriter ...
