I see there are no comments here yet.

I am an English professor, and have experience in magazine, book, and test editing. I often comment on grammar related subs on "that other social media site", but I'm trying to help Lemmy grow by contributing here instead. But to do that, there ~~needs~~ need to be posts. : )

The way to get a community growing is to start posting. I'm going to start some seed topics, so please comment on them and add your own. Questions are good too.

I could say that I, as the author of the sentence, perceived 'posts' as a unified entity. But that would be bullshitting you. I didn't re-read before posting. I fixed it. Thanks.
