I am the world's WORST speller! If I didn't have "grammarly" and every other spell checker, well I can't imagine. I think my blocks in spelling and arithmetic stem to "Miss Greenleaf" my third grade teacher! But "tone" haven't seen that in action on my posts. How /where? I see contrast.drama. and tension.
When I compose at blogger, the Grammarly logo appears in the bottom right corner: a little green circle with its upper case G formed by an arrow that spins around periodically to show me it's paying attention, and turns red and sports a number to indicate how many matters need my attention. Shortly after I begin composing, that circle is joined by the tone checker to its left, an emoji indicating the perceived tone of my words.
Thanks for your contrast-drama-tension feedback for my postcard start, feedback that seems entirely on target, something I cannot say about Grammarly's feedback on my words!
Haaaa! Never knew that Grammarly had a tone checker!
I just keep shaking my head and laughing every time Grammarly tells me the tone of my writing is one of anxiety!
I saw that spinning G but haven't seen tone... are you on premium?
Just saw it... my head seems to need re-adjusting.
Tone? OMG! Now I have to try this. I wonder if there is an app that reads the "tone" of art? Your neutral postcard start might have a slightly pointy tone going on...ha ha!
The tone checker has captivated me recently. I sometimes poke around trying alternative phrasing as I draft to see how G takes in my words.
I wonder if postcard start #3 will still be pointy in tone after it becomes postcard finish #3!
Haha, laughing about tone checker. Sometimes it makes me wonder... do I really sound sad, angry, neutral. And is neutral a bad thing in a blog post? Haha! But it is always nice to see a happy face. Kinda like a gold star on your homework. Haha Loving your neutrals Dotty. And amazed at the different feelings they invoke, even unfinished. :)
Haha, laughing about that tone checker, too! It has me captivated recently. Glad for your nod to the neutrals, Sheila, and your feedback about the different feelings they invoke : )
