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.

    there needs to be posts.

    I would have said “there need to be posts.” If it were just one post I would say “there needs to be a post.” Do we have to fight now?

      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.
