Try “I am considering”.
- rpdillon 2mo agoIn a situation where you are an editor and focusing on the clarity and the brevity of the writing, I think this is a fantastic suggestion. Hacker News has long ago decided that making comments on the quality of the writing in the comments is not welcome. Correcting spelling, correcting word usage, changing phrasing, and making other suggestions to improve the grammar of a post is not something that Hacker News readers want to encounter in the comments section. It bothers me every day because there are gobs of cases where the writing is horrible, but I understand why the rule exists. It would make the comments section insufferable if everybody were just correcting each other's grammar the whole time.
- stasomatic 2mo agoWhy are you being so friendly? Perhaps En isn't their native language. Although, taken out of context, that sentence could be interpreted as "I got myself in trouble for doing this". :)
- gamerDude 2mo agoRereading, I can appreciate the active verb you want me to use, but I like "in consideration". I am in a period of consideration, it's more passive which accurately captures the reality.
