There’s this book on my bookshelf, it’s fallen flat. It has a nice title, and it’s easier to read this way. But I have some other books that won’t fit if I don’t put it upright. Should right this book or no?

You should right the book.

Wronging the book adds moral complexity to your story

How about writing a wrong instead?

That's called editing

I would rather read a good book with spelling mistakes than a bad book with perfect grammar.

I tried a bad book with spelling mistakes. Turns out, two negatives do not result in a positive product

[-] Grass@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

Judging from some stuff I have been asked to read and how others received it, it varies based on spelling and reading capabilities.

An excellent story with awful spelling made me wonder if the migrain aura was getting me again yet it was well loved by the others that read it with no comments on spelling.

A bad story with bad... everything also got more praise than I could agree with.

I'm thinking of wronging a book.

[-] herrcaptain@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 months ago

Maybe they mean they'd like to be an editor? Their job is to right books before they go to press.

It seems he left the book instead.

[-] SupraMario@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago
