@deidrejowen Right? But I can't help but wonder just how sober they were...

[Michelle, Editor @ExcellentEdits]

@deidrejowen That sounds like a template issue. It's loading the normal template every time you reopen it. But I don't know why it wouldn't save your page choice.

@ParanormalJunk2 Depends on what your "developmental editor" actually does. A true DE can't be replaced by AI, but there's a no true standard for what the editing levels are or what they're called, especially in the indie market.

@leCoinBureau @engineers_feed No, the commas are not grammatically necessary in US English. But if you had included them around "inevitably," it would just have a different emphasis: will, inevitably, itself contain ...

@leCoinBureau @engineers_feed That's Muphry's Law.

@thekimkavin @DrFreelance I had the same experience as Kim, so they are mailing me a check.

@epawawx I'm sorry for your loss. Beautiful tribute to your dad.

@deidrejowen It's hard to pick up sometimes with the tone, mood, flow ... I have it too even with short stories.

[Michelle, Editor @ExcellentEdits]

@JamesAFurey Sadly, this is true.

@deidrejowen @BowlersReviews Both my hubby and son are dyslexic. Because of how school is today, there's less room for the dyslexic learner to catch up. We couldn't have done it without speech-to-text and text-to-speech (audio).

[Michelle, Editor @ExcellentEdits]

@deidrejowen @BowlersReviews It is, unfortunately. Audiobooks are used widely for students with dyslexia, and the argument that "they aren't really reading" or are cheating is everywhere.

🚨Big news for me: I am excited and proud to announce that my article about five unusual signs for dyslexia has been printed in EP Magazine. You can see it at: https://t.co/NwQVNzfDWz

It's a terrific magazine, so be sure to check it out!

@JamesAFurey What you're talking about is modification. An accommodation doesn't change the work. An accommodation is no different than letting someone who needs glasses wear them to see. If you need more information about this aspect of school, please feel free to DM me.

[Michelle, Editor @ExcellentEdits]

@GovernorShapiro Maybe you should talk about what you're to blame for instead. Like ... utility costs. And property taxes.

[Michelle, Editor @ExcellentEdits]

@GovernorShapiro So are my property taxes! To the tune of 10% in two years. And so are my electric bills! PA produces power all right, but not for Pennsylvanians.

@GavinNewsom For heaven's sake, what are you, nine years old? Aren't there other things that you could be doing?

[Michelle, Editor @ExcellentEdits]

@JamesAFurey What do you have against kids with dyslexia? You as an educator didn't even know what it was! And if you ever were a parent who tried to get a diagnostic through an uncooperative and uneducated school system, you couldn't even make this post.

@sharemath A beautiful story about the power of a true teacher. I wish there were more -- or at least a system that allowed more people to be this for their students.
