googledocs you are getting awfully uppity for something that can’t differentiate between “its” and “it’s” correctly
oho and now you’re questioning my adverb usage? you? you?
you fucking dare?
you try to change ‘tears’ to ‘years’ for no reason but don’t catch ‘imporint’???
hey quick question gdocs
what the fuck
1. how the fuck did this post become so popular
2. everyone just commenting ‘QUERCHED’ is delightful
3. some people have suggested i use grammarly. this is letting the robots win and also would deprive me of the opportunity to complain about insignificant technical things instead of just wanting to scream over writing all the time
4. i use googledocs because i want access to my writing on multiple platforms and also because fuck microsoft
5. the difference between [its] and [it’s] is that [it’s] is always used as a shortened form of [it is] and [its] is used as the possessive of [it]. yes, this goes against the usual practice of just tacking on an [‘s] when you want to indicate ownership. yes, english is absolutely a trash language.
btw, gdoc’s most recent transgression:
noooope
LITERALLY THE EXACT OPPOSITE MEANING OF WHAT I WANT, GDOCS
i’m sorry what kind of AI FUCKERY is going on here that you are trying to ADD IN ADVERBS FOR ME that could ENTIRELY CHANGE THE TONE from a neutral ‘He’d been young’ to something that would put emphasis on just how young he was and how long ago it was you cannot just THROW EXTRA WORDS IN LIKE THAT
‘he’d been so young’ I’LL FUCKING KILL YOU
OH MY FUCKING GOD ARE YOU SERIOUS
me @ everyone else using googledocs:
YOU
I just listened to a podcast with an A.I. research scientist. She said if you wouldn’t trust autocorrect to be in charge of a decision, then you shouldn’t trust another A.I. with it, so… that’s something to worry about
Grammarly is not better.
