Victoria's Rants

five year olds on here

lmao sometimes I feel like you guys never went to school when I read your stories. do I need to be your teacher for the day? do you suddenly not know anything about grammar or spelling?

SOME OF THE WRITING I SEE ON HERE IS LIKE A FIVE YEAR OLD WROTE IT. I CLICK ON THEIR PROFILE AND THEY SAY THEYRE THIRTEEN.

THIRTEEN.

I won't tell you my age but then on their bio they say excuses like, "um yeah I wrote that when I was 12 so yeah sorry!!"

um, no. you're in sixth grade when your 12 (basically middle school/primary school). you weren't in kindergarten when you were 12 and writing that. did you happen to miss most classes of the year?

people say my writing is good, which I kind of feel weird when someone says that because they say that 12 year olds aren't good writers on wattpad and I stand there like, hehe . . . the stuff I write--

ANYWAYS.

because some people suddenly lose all ability to write on here, here's some tips that should've stuck to you when you were 12. these stuck to my head since I was freaking 10, I don't get it.

1: YOUR AND YOU'RE

your = POSSESSIVE.

"Where's your bike?"

you're = YOU ARE.

"you're so lazy, victoria!"

does that help you? you use (your) when you're talking about someone's belonging. you use (you're) when you're saying you are. like, "you are so lazy, victoria!"

2: SPELLING

you do know there's this thing called autocorrect when you type, right? how is it even possible to spell the easiest words ever like chair incorrectly? if I can spell supercalifragilisticexpialidocious correctly, you can spell chair the right way.

I don't mean this to anyone who doesn't speak english (or any language that you weren't born with to know) fluently. if you don't, that's fine. I'm spanish and can speak it, but I can't write it because I know I'll make a lot of mistakes.

hola, como estas? quiere ir a la playa este verano?

(did I even get that right?? ^)

3: CAPITALIZATION

if your story isn't meant to be lower cased the entire time, please be able to capitalize all proper nouns. like names, cities, first letter in beginning of a sentence, etc..

Don't Write Like This. This Is Cringe-Worthy To Me, And Isn't Correct Grammar.

(^ this doesn't include the author notes are rant books, only if you're actually writing)

4: THERE, THEY'RE, AND THEIR

there = "LET'S GO OVER THERE."

they're = THEY ARE

their = "THAT'S THEIR BIKE."

5: TOO, TO, AND TWO

too = "THAT'S TOO MUCH WORK."

to = "LET'S GO TO THE PARK."

two = "LOOK! THERE'S TWO DUCKS OVER THERE!"

that's basically all I have right now, but yeah, please make your writing look like you actually tried. most of the mistakes I see look like you were too lazy to fix it or something.
