Unfortunately, the universe had different plans for us, because 2021 turned out to be just as unpredictable as its nightmarish predecessor. We found out UFOs exist, watched a billionaire space race, and saw Texas freeze over while the Pacific Northwest melted.

Amidst the mayhem, Gen-Z thrived; bor ..read more

Paraphrasing vs. Summarizing vs. Quoting
QuillBot Blog
by Paige Pfeifer
2y ago
Most of the time, when you’re referring back to a previous conversation, text, or piece of media, you’re not recalling each part exactly as it happened—that would require a memory better than any of us probably have. Instead, you’re going to be either paraphrasing what you heard or read, summarizing the information learned, or directly quoting pieces of what you remember.   Paraphrasing, summarizing, and quoting are all closely related actions, which can make them difficult to tell apart in certain circumstances. Generously enough, we’re going to cover all of that for you: paraphrasing ..read more

QuillBot Blog
by Guest Author
2y ago
Nothing turns people off more than marketing-ese. We live in a digital era, which means pretty much everyone on your business’ contact list loathes distracting ads and knows how to smell a sales pitch from a mile away. If you want to create real, authentic connections with your customers and leads, you can’t rely on a good deal or a great product. You’ve got to use language that builds trust, something that feels like a one-to-one conversation rather than an advertisement. Studies have shown that casual language works for marketers, bridging the gap between casual social media interactions an ..read more

The Unproductive Feedback Loop: Efficiency’s Worst Nightmare Everyone wants to be productive. We want to achieve our goals at work, have the bandwidth to pour into ourselves creatively, be able to invest in our relationships, and find balance within our lives. But as anyone who has ever wanted or needed to write something will tell you, whether the task is an assignment for school or a poem for a friend, the seemingly simple act of writing is not always so straightforward.
