Trigger warnings

Some grammar rules (and embarrassing mistakes!) transcend the uniqueness of different regions and style guides. This new International Grammar section by OnlineBookClub.org ultimately identifies those rules thus providing a simple, flexible rule-set, respecting the differences between regions and style guides. You can feel free to ask general questions about spelling and grammar. You can also provide example sentences for other members to proofread and inform you of any grammar mistakes.

Trigger warnings

Post by Kshitija Sonawane »

Hello everyone,

I'm reading this book which has instances of thoughts of suicide, rape, self harm and so on. How do I word this? Should I write these words as it is or do I put it like these? R**e, s*****e and so on in my review?

I would write them in your review just as they appear, rape, suicide, etc. I have done a few reviews with these trigger warnings in them and I just wrote them into the review.
