Getting annoyed because the New Microsoft Word helpfully informs me to be more concise in my writing– constantly. I understand this would be helpful for scholarly and academic writing, but this is a book blog; I don’t need this computer sass. I need to be succinct in my writing for classes, I so I like using adjectives here. This is my blog I will use all of the fluffy, flowerful language I want, thank you very much Microsoft Word.
No.
P.S. I imagine there would be some way to turn this feature off but it will probably actually be helpful in a class context, and I am lazy, so….
Please let me know if you think this series is a good idea! Also, I’d love to hear some of your stories about the dangers of book blogging!
Have a lovely day!
Hahaha, imagine someone like H.P Lovecraft or William Shakespear dealing with Microsoft Word. 😀 “The lady doth protest too much, methinks.”

Lol, Lovecraft would probably go mad, it would probably suggest less archaic words constantly!

That actually made me laugh. I didn’t know there’s a program that does it. I’m getting annoyed even by autocorrect, I can’t imagine something like that talking back at me. That’s vandalism, almost. It ruins the writer’s original style.

I’m glad! I imagine it must be a fairly new update, as I downloaded the program from my school about a month ago!

I had no idea this feature existed… I kinda hope I’ll stumble over it eventually. I’m sure I’ll have plenty of things to write in Word for uni, so it should be helpful! 🙂

That is hilarious! I love me some adjectives as well! Word would probably blow up if I were to write up my reviews on that, I enjoy this series!💕

Ugh I feel your pain as my word program is always telling me not to use the passive voice. It should have informed the education minister of throat!

I turned it off, it was very annoying, especially because I love using more words than less. Concise is not my thing. 😉
