On of my peers at work got me a sticker for my laptop that says “I’m silently correcting your grammar.”

Which to be grammatically correct should of course say "I'm correcting your grammar silently."

At my company I'm *loudly* correcting everyone's grammar all the time. I have no shame.

I recently became hyper-aware that I will often use "setup" as a verb in commit messages/PR titles, so now I am trying to ruthlessly stamp the habit out.

You can set up your setup, at which point you’ll have set up a set-up setup.

The same thing goes for any term composed of an action followed by a direction!

Reminds me of when my granddaughter says she wants to play the “keepy uppy” game. It’s keeping a balloon from touching the floor 😂
