Olde Phoenix Inn

Just unsubbed from Inkarnate (Online map maker)

And Roll20

My Star Wars game is dead.

I am thinking about subbing to "Grammarly"

The freeware one offers helpful suggestions.

I'm pretty sure I'd use it. A lot.

But $30 a month is steep.

They'll do $12 a month if a I pay for a year at a time $144.

I just don't have $144 right now.

My case many times. How how often will I use this?

What is Grammerly?

Grammarly started out as a spell check add-on, then they added a grammar checker. Now it offers helpful suggestions about rewriting awkward sentences, which I like.

There are some jay-isms it doesn't like, but I think it would improve my readability some,

Oh, and it still spell checks and grammar checks pretty well.

I have never seen your readability as an issue.

"Weird Al" Yankovic's Word Crimes

I enjoyed those

Mhy favorite Weird Al

I read a Werid Al interview where he describes his songs.

He said Mark Motherbaugh, the leader of DEVO said he loved this song and knew exactly which song it's a parody of

Which is odd, because it's a style pastiche - Weird Al was doing the style of DEVO without satirizing any specific song. Weird Al reported being mystified.

This one is notable

BB King was a major Blues star for 50 years. This song made his top 10 list.

I have two BB King albums....
