  1. Steve should consider adding this (or something very similar) to the User's Guide. Perhaps in a techniques section. What do you think? -Thoth
  2. Happy Birthday Cybertech.

    Why not drop by the forum and say hello to the gang?

  3. I'll fourth it but here's the thing; I have no use for it. I never number my chapters because I often split them, move them around and alter names. I have nothing against automatic numbering, though. So, if we do this, I need an easy way to opt out. Bloobity bloob. - Thoth.
  4. I'm guilty of overuse of the dreaded "stealthily" - one of the most unstealthy of adverbs. And I second a "phrase counter" although I'm curious as to how it could be implemented. Are we talking whole sentences only (e.g., "Gee willikers, Batman.") or any possible strings of words ("...in his hat...") or something in between? - Thoth.
  5. Yeah. It's always the words you don't suspect that make the editor rip out his/her hair. ("If this guy uses pusillanimous one more time I'm setting fire to the manuscript!) The program should overlook certain categories of words (conjunctions, articles, pronouns, the protagonist's name, etc) but I see this more as a "don't bother with these" list. Or, would you prefer that Storyist be able to know a conjunction when it sees one? -Thoth.
  6. Interesting. I can definitely see this as part of a larger statistical analysis feature for Storyist. Seconded. Good to hear from you LisaPS. - Thoth
  7. So let's see if my Chinese translator is working:

    1. I am the King of the Hill.

    2. My family of six individuals.

    3. This is not my car.

    4. Good-bye.

    I like the platypus.

    -Thoth

  8. lol in reply to your comment: Only because the right guy hasn't found me yet! I wish he'd hurry up! ;) *hums someday my prince will come* LOL!

  9. You rock, M. You know that, right?

  10. You like turtles and kids and Celtic Women concerts. So let me ask a grandpa question: Why aren't you married yet?

  11. Steve (our hero) normally answers questions as quickly as possible. But he sometimes answers questions faster than possible. This isn't magic or time travel but the simple fact that there's a fair chance he, or some else, has already addressed the question somewhere in the Forum. So... 3. Use the Search command. The Search command for the forums is at the top of the page on the right side (next to Help). Click it and you'll get a little search field into which you can add a few keywords. Words must be four characters long or longer. If necessary, click on "More Search Options" for (what else?) more search options. There is also a check box you can use to restrict your search to the current forum. Be warned: Some Forum members can be a bit chatty (guilty!) and often go off on tangents (again, guilty!!). But you might find it entertaining. Feel free to add your own two cents; I always do. My 2ยข on this topic. -Thoth.
  12. The Forum's 50th Member. Yea!
