I see there are no comments here yet.
I am an English professor, and have experience in magazine, book, and test editing. I often comment on grammar related subs on “that other social media site”, but I’m trying to help Lemmy grow by contributing here instead. But to do that, there needs need to be posts. : )
The way to get a community growing is to start posting. I’m going to start some seed topics, so please comment on them and add your own. Questions are good too.
Seed topic suggestion - what is the genesis of some very common grammatical/linguistic errors like ‘could of’ instead of ‘could have’ or ‘there vs their’ or the lack of using the apostrophe after ‘s’ in case of plurals
Why don’t you make post with that. Posts contribute to growing the community more than comments. And this topic is fun.
