I am not actively changing how I write, but I think it's still affecting me, is what I meant to say.
True. Writing structures for arguments and analysis make a huge difference in effective writing. I wish brevity and linguistic precision were taught more, as well. Miscommunication due to ambiguity is one of the biggest…
A few times in some Discord communities, I've been accused of being A.I. because of how I write. Kind of sad and a bit annoying. I also quite like em dashes, but have felt the need to reduce how much I use them. Glad to…

The article makes some excellent points. I think this part isn't a great example, though: > Saying something like “Go to my cases” is awkward and unnatural – if I told you to go to my cases, you’d think I was telling…
Ironically, it actually helped me stay focused on the article. Kind of like a fidget toy. When part of my brain would get bored, I could just move the cat and satisfy that part of my brain while I keep reading. I know…
Novice Question: How can you have a relational database at all without foreign keys? In other words, if your tables aren't referencing other tables, how do you perform JOINS for your queries? From my limited experience,…
