Hey, SE Readers, Joan here to start this post off. It's the fifth Friday, and you know what that means. Time for another group post. We've been talking about doing this one for a while---a little humor we hope will brighten your day.

I knew I needed to do something different, so I came up with an idea for … Continue reading WordPress Reader Lists

September 18, 2019September 8, 2019 / Joan Hall / 39 Comments

Hey, SE Readers. Joan here today. I’ve known of some writers who refuse to use any time of spell check or grammar aid when writing. I’m not ashamed to admit I need all the help I can get. While these tools are not a substitute for proofreading, they can help detect things such as using … Continue reading Using Tautologies
