“She is publishing under her real name”
You are responding to her yet you use the 3rd person. You meant to write:
“You are publishing under your real name”
This is a complicated use of first person and third person:
“She sounds as if she genuinely believes somebody will send her anthrax through the post - do you really believe that is a real possibility or do you think her battle with sexism in the workplace has gone slightly off the rails?”
You meant to write:
“You sound as if you genuinely believe somebody will send you anthrax through the post - do you really believe that is a real possibility or do you think your battle with sexism in the workplace has gone slightly off the rails?”
Since she wrote it, she probably does believe it.
- bArray 5y agoThe confusion here is that I didn't realize I was speaking to the author. She clarified this in a response comment with 'I am the author'.
