@npub1cz0…wk5s I often struggle with when to use italics. All of those uses seem appropriate to me, but as you point out, if you use them for all of them, it gets messy.

@npub1cz0…wk5s getting the book you want to read can be great writing motivation

@npub1k24…26zw yeah, it's easy to fall behind and hard to catch up. I read as much as I can fit in and participate when I can.

@npub15kl…k35n @npub10d5…vvxa I lived one year in New Hampshire, but otherwise have always been in New York. I've lived in several different regions though.

@npub10d5…vvxa I can't remember anything specific, but people from Rochester or Buffalo would occasionally have a slight accent or different word for something. For downstate, I think each borough has a difference in the way they speak, and maybe even different sections of Long Island have their specific differences.

@npub10d5…vvxa I find regional accents/pronunciation very interesting. Also the way people think of regions. People from the City think of it as the City and upstate, but as someone who grew up in central NY/ Finger lakes, upstate always meant something different to me.

@npub10d5…vvxa side note: at work I often read notes and things from people without much background in writing/language, and there are so many times I've seen people use jive instead of jibe. Actually, I've heard people use it in conversation too.

@npub10d5…vvxa yeah, I agree, and I have to say if it hadn't been for #WritingWonders, I'm not sure I'd still be on here and I would have missed out on some great people and conversations. I've had a lot of great conversations outside of the hashtag, but the group of people participating in it convinced me to stick around and see what happened. I had my hand on the door handle a bunch of times, but I'm glad I stayed.

@npub125d…yray @npub18jm…my9f @npub10d5…vvxa oh, right, furrowed eyebrows are a thing I overuse. Maybe I should allow them more freedom of movement.
