I once hit a bear in the face.

That is fascinating (and wretched).

I hear you.
I found that it introduced almost as many errors as it discovered.

Grammarly was not great at the best of times, and now it's ... ludicrous.

Generative AI has broken the subject matter expert/editor relationship โ€“ Rachel Andrew Rachel Andrew

"There used to be an implicit contract between SME and #editor. Generative #AI has broken that contract. Increasingly writers receive content that looks polished, yet contains inaccuracies. This places a greater burden on the team #editing the content."

I'm an editor. Sometimes in my dreams I create terrible copy and then edit it. I wake up exhausted

I dreamt there was a new app called Clackers

There's a community garden in my neighborhood in the US. It's popular.

It's beautiful. Wear it!

Ah, yes.

Yes, that's how we pronounce it in America. I meant what I was hearing in my head when I was trying to imagine how you might pronounce it.

Will you please explain this to me, Sylvia? Is it because you pronounce it differently?

16.02.2026 05:44 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Surely they must have. I certainly hope so.

16.02.2026 05:34 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

It's unfathomable.

That is horrible, Sylvia. I am so sorry.

That's amazing and delightful!

Either way is okay by me.

My husband and I just read it together, after which he said, "Well, that's a masterpiece." Yup.
