Currently:

Proposed:

Markdown Write your posts or pages in plain-text Markdown syntax. Markdown is an easy writing system favored by writers that allows you to quickly write and edit the format of elements such as headers, lists, and more.

Editing Tools Proofread your posts and pages automatically with our intelligent editing tools. Write more content, faster. We'll handle tidying things up for you.

@benhuberman I'm getting into the groove of explaining the benefits of these features to customers, but I'd like a little direction here. We have sub-settings for the proofreading section. To me, they seem alright and self-explanatory. Do you have any recommendations for these?

benhuberman commented 6 years ago

For the sub-settings, I did have a few questions/notes:

I think of proofreading as something that happens before I publish something. So it's not clear to me what proofreading actually means in this context when the options are all after a post/page have been shared.
In the language detection section, there's a serial comma missing after "Spanish." I think there's also an opportunity to streamline the copy here too, e.g.: "Detect language automatically." I usually err on the side of greater detail, but this to me is pretty straightforward.
In "English Options" -- shouldn't it be "Biased Language" rather than "Bias Language"?
I wouldn't say no to a short sentence telling the user what "ignored phrases" means, not just how to use it (which is what the current copy below the input box does). For example: "Add words and phrases that don't need to be proofread."

I forgot to add these to my previous comments, but I also had a couple of small trims to suggest in the intro copy (which reads well already!):

Markdown Write your posts or pages in plain-text Markdown syntax. Markdown is an easy, writer-friendly system and a quick way to introduce and edit elements like headings and lists.

Editing Tools Let our intelligent editing tools proofread your posts and pages. Focus on your writing while we tidy things up for you -- automatically.

This issue has been marked as stale. This happened because:

It has been inactive in the past 6 months.
It hasn’t been labeled `[Pri] Blocker`, `[Pri] High`.

No further action is needed. But it's worth checking if this ticket has clear reproduction steps and it is still reproducible. Feel free to close this issue if you think it's not valid anymore — if you do, please add a brief explanation.
