English Is A Tough Language · 6:08pm Sep 14th, 2017

English Is A Tough Language

English is kind of complicated. I often revert to speaking French, Korean, Chinese, or Japanese (or a combination of all of these at once) because they make more sense. :P

Reasons English is a weird language:

1. There are a bunch of variations of a word that are pronounced the same, but they are spelled different and mean different things.

Such as to, too, two. There, there, their. Where, wear. Tare, Tear. Bare, Bear. So on and so forth.

Be an Author: Dialect · 7:40pm Nov 10th, 2018

How much should you use dialect or constructed language? Very little. Note that I did not write not at all.

By dialect, I mean implying a southern drawl, or using specific words that imply a regional accent like “Darling!”1 or “Don’t ya know?“ or “A?” or “Brilliant”. By a constructed language, I mean everything from completely made up words to totally made up grammars. This includes writing in English but using a foreign grammar like Spanish or Japanese.

Some small fixes in the descriptions of "Letters to Cozy Glow" and how applying them made me get better at something I'm struggling with · 10:00pm Apr 19th, 2019

So, after I checked into "Letters to Cozy Glow" yesterday while writing the next letter/chapter, my eyes fell on the short description and I discovered a small error in it. Small, as in, only one word was wrong. But it made the sentence sound very stupid and gave a wrong idea of what it says.
I went and fixed it, then read through the long description to make sure there isn't a similar error. I found one and it sounded similarly stupid and I fixed that one as well.

Paul's Thursday Reviews CXVIII · 9:44pm May 31st, 2018

There shall be no reviews next week, for that will be a break week. On the other hand, this means we’re practically done with the review expansion! So the next time you guys see reviews from me, it’ll be with a full set of 10 stories. And from the look of my schedule right up into mid-July, I’ll certainly be able to keep up. Hooray for practically doubled pacing!
