I've received a delightful complaint from a reader detailing all the errors in one of my books. Every single error with page numbers and corrections.

Problem is, every single one of the errors they've flagged isn't an error.

It's merely an instance of UK English.

Every one.

Wait how did jobs work before email… like did you just get home from work and… work was over ?

Life gets better once you stop assuming you will always have more time later. Be proactive. Each day should be a step forward.

Wow. This. Is. Crazy.

Wife looks better imo.

Oh, there's also the UX when chatting w/ agent. Pls don't let floating keyboard hide typing bar. After some arduous typing one needs 2 hide keyboard 2b confronted by a bunch of autocorrects. N the moment u hit delete 2 correct errors, the keyboard obscures ur view AGAIN?! – 3/

For an eCommerce platform, the Etsy app really sucks. It slows down after a while (you need to exit and restart the app to resume normal speed). Gpay doesn't seem to work. No other payment option is shown to be available (though agent tells me Paypal is accepted). - 1/

It's difficult to go back to your basket to retrieve info when speaking to the agent without terminating the chat. Agent then advises it may be easier to use a laptop (???!!) Final suggestion is, you may want to try ordering from another device, this being the usual fix... – 2/

Ehhh... he clearly needs help. Just apply the reasonable man/woman on the street test. Would a reasonable person reject his advances? 🙄🙄🙄 https://t.co/veqKpuymy4

Can't read the article cos paywalled, but based on the headline, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! (Btw, luxury homes are affordable too for most who choose to buy them. So, is he tryna say ppl who complain are buying things they can't afford?) Curious to know how the author argues his case.

Procrastination is misguided emotional regulation. I'm regulating my emotions misguidedly as we speak.

How about LJ? Apparently 'walau' used to be sweary too.

[Quite Interesting @qikipedia]

Swear words - regardless of the language in which they occur - are less likely than other words to contain the letters "l", "r", "w" and "y".

Maximalist homes on Apartment Therapy make me so happy. But I don't think I'll be able to pull that off without the house looking like the cave of a hoarder in need of... therapy.

When younger, celebrity worship was about 'I wanna be xxx when I grow up'. Now I've reached the age when celebrity worship is about, I wished I was like xxx when I was younger. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️
