What are some writing hot takes? 🥵
Here are a few of mine (in no particular order).
1️⃣ Learn the rules so that you know when—and how—to break them.
2️⃣ "Irregardless" should not be a word.
3️⃣ The Oxford comma is critical. Use it.
"Come meet Jane, a clown and a thief" states that Jane is a clown and a thief.
By contrast, "Come meet Jane, a clown, and a thief" indicates 3 different characters.
Mine: every use of the word “whilst” is -5 aura points.
@benpate This is just a cultural difference, no?
"While" = American English
"Whilst" = British English
That could very well be. I still laugh about one time I saw American English described as "English (simplified)"
To my ears, "whilst" often sounds like someone trying to sound smart with a fancy sounding word.
But then to American ears, all British accents are an automatic +10 aura points, so maybe it evens out :)
