@cstross I am not an author, although I'm a fan of you work. I have absolutely nothing to offer you other than my thanks for drawing our attention to this issue.
Due to your prompt, I've found a few fascinating articles describing various, and somewhat adamant, positions on this issue.
@cstross Teresa Nielsen Hayden. She gets snippy if you spell her wrong... (at least you didn't add a spurious hyphen)
@klepsydra Aaagh I blame this con crud I came home with. (Not COVID; at least I'm testing negative and lack the current symptom set.)

@scottjenson It's not my prompt, it's a daily prompt from the hashtag #WritersCoffeeClub (which you should follow).
@cstross Charlie, I just stumbled across this hashtag in past couple of days. Is there someone specific who publishes the daily prompt? Are the rules of engagement I should look up? Or do I just hashtag and jump in the deep end?
@SteveJB Use the hashtag and jump right in! (Yes, there's a small group who run it: they work out each month's daily prompts in advance.)
@cstross In science education, I often have to edit down my writing to fit within word counts. Most of the adverbs get deleted. Conciseness is a major part of the game.
