AI also does “not only … but also” a lot, often incorrectly.

My friend Paige taught two-year-olds, and she liked to sing them their anthem, which went like this: "No NO no no, NO no no no no!" She said they loved it.

My thinking precisely.

A friend just went to a conference on ethical AI use. They developed an acronym—DELTA—to refer to all the ways they would be discriminating, ethical, loving, thoughtful (or whatever it was). I was just like—but what about the wholesale theft and the environmental degradation?

I love her work. "All My Puny Sorrows" is the book that has made me laugh hardest and cry hardest. All in one book!

Huh, that's odd. My BrE clients seem to use "amidst."

If I'm editing U.S. writing, I change "whilst" and "amidst" to "while" and "amid."

I got to see @grammartable.bsky.social 's "Rebel with a Clause" today and it was such a kick. Who knew a movie about grammar would have so many laughs! Highly recommended.

Thing is, we don't normally say "tread" in the United States. We say "step" and "stepped."

As someone from the U.S., I have never heard a fellow American say "trodden on."
