Hemingway Editor
The trend towards using syntactic machines to teach people to write perplexes me because writing is foremost about meaning. For example, the Gettysburg address begins:> Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.Hemingway flags that as passive voice, but it's actually a present progressive construction. Rather than computers making us more fully human, they strive to make us more machine like, and that's a worry.
