In the hallowed halls of informal english<\/em> we linger, we dawdle, we dillydally over words and phrases, particularly words that are improperly stressed<\/a> and phrases that are commonly misconstrued<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Talk it over<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An extensive schedule of informal english classes. For example, a native Cantonese speaker who is fluent in english holds a 90 minute informal but focused session for six peeps whose first language is Cantonese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Immediate collaborative editing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even Hemingway needed a good editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because three ( ) heads are better than one. And ideas get better when they bounce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anyone who writes<\/a>: in high school, college, grad school, at work, at play, in the real world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because you want to write well. Because you want good grades, or a good eval at work. Because you need and crave immediate collaborative editing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anyone who writes<\/a> can engage the obvious editors in three different types of fast collaborative real-time editing (see below). We are sort of on-retainer and on-call and actively engaged all at once; that’s the best way to describe it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A writer<\/a> (like, you) works on stuff, and might like some help<\/a>, or camaraderie<\/a>, or collaboration<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Obvious editors answer<\/a> your questions + critique<\/a> snippets of your writing. Invite<\/a> one or more of our editors into the group(s) you form in your private MESSAGES (see the bottom corner in the WORKSPACE), or request direct editing<\/a> of your evolving GOOGLE DOCS<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The WORKSPACE<\/a> has nooks + crannies where you can seek constructive advice and critique, in public or in private. Our editors are active here, and sometimes the best tips come from a fellow writer. Log in to join the conversation (your log-in is with Muut; maybe you are already a free member). See our visual guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Click on the ‘Messages’<\/a> button at the bottom of the WORKSPACE<\/a>. Form a GROUP around a topic or paper or project by inviting an obvious editor or two into a private MESSAGE<\/a>. Your groups can include a friend, or co-worker, or advisor as well. Your conversation is only visible to the members of your group. See our visual guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One or more of the obvious editors will join you to edit your GOOGLE DOCS<\/a>. You can also invite a friend or family member or mentor. They’re your documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, we edit right away, we edit well, and we are collaborative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s effective, it’s collaborative, and it’s happening now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I just told you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because you want to write well. Because you want to exceed expectations. Because you need and crave immediate collaborative editing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Obvious editor is free if you were invited to help out a writer friend. We ask that students and writers SUBSCRIBE (monthly or yearly)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So that we can hire, feed, water, preen and otherwise support our top-notch editors, who are on-retainer and on-call and actively engaged all the time, for you<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Obvious editor subscriptions run on an honor system. Please pay what you can afford<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Words + Phrases In the hallowed halls of informal english we linger, we dawdle, we dillydally over words and phrases, particularly words that are improperly stressed and phrases that are commonly misconstrued.
