[–] FridaySteve@lemmy.world 1 point 8 months ago (1 child) Now I’m expected to be a good enough writer to “match their style,” or I’m a bad person? Nope. Just a bad communicator. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 point 8 months ago (1 child) Interesting, since I've made my living as a professional writer throughout my life, and still do ALL the copyrighting for my business, which is nearly 20 years old, with hundreds of clients, all of who responded to my written marketing and sales communications. I'm a good enough writer to raise a family on a single income, but by all means continue to take writing advice from people who think 👁️♥️U is a full sentence.

That's a stronger argument than "Nuh-uh." Goodbye children, I have shit to do.

It really isn't. You're probably lying about your experience. There's a lot of us out here. Lemmy isn't a secret club for CS majors. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 point 8 months ago (1 child) Not a flex, just demonstrates that I know the rules of proper writing. Strunk & White, motherfucker. And accusing someone of lying, and thinking that wins your argument, is the last gasp of a loser.
