Computers are so good at doing repetitive things--it's cool that you figured out an algorithm to search for types of words and phrases. <br /><br />Ferreting out the goofy participle problem...yeah, I need to do this for sure.<br /><br />And I heard on NPR that Google has been continuously under attack by hackers in China for months now. The government is peeved that Google won't self-censor in their country and has been cyber attacking because of it.Laurel Garverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657218435228802535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3038741495635767257.post-6667384382815468082011-06-02T08:08:30.187-05:002011-06-02T08:08:30.187-05:00These tips are brilliantly useful, as I'm curr...These tips are brilliantly useful, as I'm currently rewriting my novel - thank you :o)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05986874444030474719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3038741495635767257.post-67045657219385172122011-06-02T05:35:02.496-05:002011-06-02T05:35:02.496-05:00Oh, hey!

Yes, past continuous tense (that's the "was xyz-ing" thing) is a habit I finally broke a few mss ago, and I still occasionally use a participial phrase without simultaneous action (even though I bust people for it when I beta!). So I guess passive constructions could be found by looking for "was [a-z,A-z]@ed". I'll have to try this! Thanks!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636585111057799728noreply@blogger.com
