It's a small thing, but I like how you can add an apostrophe and an s to someone's Bluesky handle in a post without putting an extra space in so it won't break the link. #GrammarSky

seeking adjectives = same as noun "plenitude" ...
(As in XXXXX thing v. plenitude of thing)
- already have: myriad, endless, infinite, shit-ton, swarming
- (know don't need form 'XXXXX of' (e. g., 'a Large Hadron Collider's worth of thing'))

"Nor" is fine here, but would be better preceded by a comma and followed by a repeated "with". (This would then also require a comma after "promulgates".) #grammarsky

I should say "is" not satisfying enough. Apologies to GrammarSky.

Agree wholeheartedly with everything here.
On the level of grammar, however, I'm wondering about the repeated use of a comma before "because". This seems to me at least non-standard, if not incorrect.

It should be “…that inspired the team and me to…” not “the team and I”.
Old trick that Beavis doesn’t know…
Drop the “the team” from the sentence. Would you say “that inspired I to…” or “that inspired me to…” - that’s how you decide!
Thank you for asking 😁💙😁

So tonight I discovered GrammarSky
Are there any other examples of times when reality breaks grammar and we just have to deal with it?
Example: Zero...it's a number so it has to be singular or plural, but since it isn't singular or plural, we just made it plural. "There are zero marbles."

I have an irrational distaste for the phrase "loved ones". Is there another term? I'm using it in the context of "supporting a loved one". I really want there to be another term or else I'm going to have to use "loved one" a lot and it feels so repetitive #grammarsky #wordsky

Question for #grammarsky:
After trying to reason with a 15 y.o. for 2 hours that we are not getting take-out since we have food that we are cooking for dinner at home, have we been *continually* or *continuously* ignoring their shrieks and sobs for the last hour?

The New Yorker Updates Its Style Guide for the Internet Age
An update to the magazine’s style guide did away with anachronisms like “Web site” and “in-box.” But it was limited to what the staff felt were “lasting” changes.

Legit question: when did "action" become a verb? And a transitive verb at that?
Is there a #grammarsky here with someone who can answer?
