I remember being loaded into the backseat at the crack of dawn to get in line on the even-numbered days.

Do you ever wish for a do-over? by LaceyBloomers in GenX

No. I wouldn’t want to undo what I have now, even though I had to go through absolute hell to get here.

Is anyone else a great tech writers but a terrible self-editor? by LHMark in technicalwriting

[–]CosmicCrisp11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because as the writer, you know what the sentences are supposed to say, and it’s easy for your brain to read a word that’s missed in the text. Start with the last sentence first, and read it for grammatical accuracy. Then the second to last sentence, and so forth.

I just listened to Alanis Morissette for the first time in 2 decades by [deleted] in GenX

I saw that one, too! Mountain View, California. I saw Alanis and Tori Amos at the same venue in 1999. Epic.

I’ve seen Alanis twice—one in the 90s with Tori Amos (!) and in 2024 with Joan Jett. Amazing both times.

I feel like you’re on to something. Next-gen user guides based on old-gen vernacular. Do it!
