some of my witting icks:

i’ve been writing for almost 10 years and idc what anyone says, grammar & punctuation are VERYY important when writing. idcidc if i see u use “where” instead of “were” im clicking tf off the story bc we too mf grown for this now…i be letting “to” and “too” slide cuz it be beating some of yall ass but we have GOT to learn the proper “you’re” and “your” (yall favorite one to fuck up) and “where” “we’re” and “were.”

and lets be fr, if ur putting abbreviations in ACTUAL fics that arent text format (ie: tf for “the fuck” or wyd for “what you doing”) IT IRKS MEEEE AND I SEE THIS SHIT IN SO MANY AOT FICS LIKE THEY ARE NOT SPELLING OUT THESE WORDS WHEN THEY TALK JUST WRITE IT DOWN FULLY LORDDDD. if its not text/social media format, it looks ugly and incomplete im sorry 🧍🏾‍♀️🧍🏾‍♀️🧍🏾‍♀️

example: “tf are you looking at?” eren said with a balled fist.

don’t do that ^

ALSO PUNCTUATIONS. i thought we big enough to know that dialogue (anything a character says) goes in “ ” ???? whyyyy are yall writing these big ass paragraphs (another issue) w multiple people speaking AND NO DIALOGUE MARKS OR TAGS ???? now imma really click off this story cuz dpmo. remember that each time a new person/character speaks, ITS A NEW PARAGRAPH/LINE

ex:

“hey,” sasha said.

“hey did you go to the party?” mikasa asked.

connie kissed his teeth. “that party sucked ASS.”

it’s easier to let it slide on more casual posts/shitposts bc i dont even give a damn ab my punctuation like that when im shitposting…not unless the ‘ makes a difference between the intended word(s)

(ie: were & we’re, two VERY diff things)

sure, it’s “write however u want” but pls, let’s at least follow the international book of grammar and punctuation pls 😭 this is not me hating, this is not me shaming, this is me simply sharing knowledge bc i also used to make these mistakes until i learned better!!
