RE: Contributing on Hede.io [Episode 2]

in #utopian-io6 years ago

Hey,

As is usually true with your posts, this is an excellent and useful update. As is also usually true with your posts, I had some issues of style and grammar. So let's get to the examples!

  • "There are not a lot of platforms built on the steem blockchain that allow for as much flexibility as Hede does." While they're basically interchangeable, I'd use "many" instead of "a lot" here. I'd also capitalize "Steem." Also, the word "for" in "allow for" is redundant.

  • "From the kind of posts you can write about" is wrong. It's either "the kinds of posts you can write" or "the kind of post you can write" or "the topics you can write about."

  • In "I’d tell you guys in a bit." "I'd" is "I would." Which would require a "but." As you actually are going to tell us in a bit, you should have written "I'll."

  • "as far as they make some sort of sense" So close! It's "as long as they make some sort of sense."

And those are my examples for this one, most of which are from the first paragraph. Your posts are definitely readable, but I strongly urge you to keep working on polishing them.

Wow... Beautiful points to take home @didic. Sometimes, most of these errors are committed unwittingly while others are simply as a result of my not being sure of which to use at that point in time.

Sometimes I have to think it through and one rule I have cultivated over the years is that after I say it out aloud and it sounds right to me, then it definitely is right. That is how I made my choices especially in your third and fourth bullet points.

Thank you very much. Hemingway also helped me a lot especially to minimize the lengthiness of some of my sentences. I hope to do better in those aspects soon enough.

Gracias!

Thank you for your review, @didic!
