AI? Give me strength!! It won't let me write 'tomte' - it changed to 'tomato' twice. I type 'croque monsieur' & it changes to 'croquettes' twice, then 'croquet.' Is there a way I can retain my old spellcheck & ditch the AI?? How can I proof a book with that going on??

D’you know that #salmon industrially farmed in #Scotland no longer has to use the word ‘farmed’ on consumer labels? What do the industrial growers want to hide? Could it be that the real impacts of salmon farming are increasingly publicly known? Or why the obscurantism ? wildfish.org/latest-news/...

Is a term 'pejorative' if it is true/accurate in context? Farmed salmon are not 'wild', 'free range' etc so the only problem, it seems, is telling people what they are buying

Wendy Barrie @wendybarriescot.bsky.social · 28/01/2025

Blood pressure rising. So many families proud to be farmers (my hubby too) & suddenly it's "pejorative" how dare they? If stating "farmed" salmon is pejorative then look closer to home. What are you hiding? #WildSalmon #herring #ecosystems under threat. Industrial scale farming a different beast.
