RE: Predators and Prey - A Short Story
Thank you very much! Yes, I'm not the greatest speller in the world. I quickly ran it through my native spell check, and Grade Proof, but skipped grammarly. I should of paid closer attention to it, but I was excited to post it. 🙃
Again thank you and I appreciate the feedback!
You're welcome!
I've always been a great speller, not that I don't make occasional mistakes myself, but I was surrounded by terrible spellers for years, so I know how it goes.
The biggest issue I find with some of the spell checkers is that, especially for those of us using poetic or unusual word choices or sequences, they will actually choose the wrong word, which is close in spelling, but not in meaning.
For instance "and" in place of "an," which can't be corrected using just a spell checker, since both are spelled correctly.
As I said, the errors were minor, but yes, when you have the time, it will make your story even better. ;-)
Yes I've noticed that as well. Grammarly also seems to use UK based English since it always tells me to use colour instead of color, but again what do I know haha..
I'll definitely give it another treat mean after work. Again thank you for your help. 😊 I look forward to seeing you around!
Yeah, my laptop is actually set up for British English, despite being a US machine. And my email provider, being based in Europe, also uses UK English.
But some of the suggestions I get from the spell check and grammar check utilities are beyond hilarious.
I was responding to a reply using my phone last night, and if I had gone with its suggestions, they would have sent the men in white coats. Unreal.
