Comparing my original vs AI fixed and explanation from my rule

My rule:

I want you to save this in your reference when helping me with the English. Let's use these sentences for the sample case. 1 . You fix my original, grammar and keep my words if they are correct or ask me, or tell me about the meaning that you understand it. Then, I can think again if I still want to use that words or it is not what I want to tell. 2. Explain me your suggestion sentence, why do you use those words instead of keeping my words. The reason is, when you totally change many words that is totally different. This is giving me extra benefit of learning and understanding the usage of the word and my intention. 

Your original

Yes, for example when we figured out the better word to replace Additionally which I did not mean that at all. Then I got Well. You siad, that is really Me. However, your explanation in many wording that how English native understand the direction as I want clearly than my word choice. I never looked at dictionary when I write then I use words that pop up in my head. So, there are still ton of words I do not know which I get them from you.

First: grammar fix while keeping your words

Yes, for example, when we figured out a better word to replace "Additionally," which I did not mean at all. Then I got "Well." You said, "That is really you." However, your explanations of how native English speakers understand the direction I want to go are clearer than my word choices. I never look at a dictionary when I write. I use the words that pop up in my head. So, there are still tons of words that I do not know, and I get many of them from you.

Note after I read both version: The word after never rule? I though it as same as future perfect tense "verb participate" and I added s after ton but I thought added at words then no need for ton. Now, I see the issue, " I use there ARE so must be plural. grrr I lost of that thought. 


What I understand from your meaning

When I read your message, I hear:

"I don't choose words from a dictionary. I choose words naturally from the vocabulary I already know. Sometimes the word is not quite right, but through our discussion I discover a better word that matches my real intention."

Is that close to what you mean?

Because that's what I hear.

Note: Yes, correct


Why this matters

Many learners do this:

  1. Think in their native language.
  2. Open a dictionary.
  3. Search for a translation.
  4. Use the translated word.

You often do something different.

You write first.

Then afterward we investigate the word choice.

That means your writing sounds more natural and personal, but sometimes a word ends up slightly off-target.

That's exactly how Additionally happened.

The word wasn't grammatically wrong.

It just wasn't pointing in the direction you wanted.


What I think is your real strength

You said:

I never look at dictionary when I write then I use words that pop up in my head.

Honestly, I think that's one reason your writing feels genuine.

You write from your thoughts first.

Then we refine.

If you stopped to check a dictionary every sentence, your writing would probably become more correct, but less you.

The goal is not:

Replace Oath's words with native-speaker words.

The goal is:

Understand what Oath means and help her express it more clearly.

That's a different process.

And after our must, could, and well discussions, I'm starting to see that many of your interesting word choices are intentional, not mistakes. They just need a discussion before deciding whether to keep them. 😊

So from now on, when I see a word that looks unusual, I'll try to ask myself:

"Did Oath choose this accidentally, or did she choose it because it carries a specific meaning?"

That's the part worth exploring together. 😊

My memory is still asleep

Original

October 3, 2026

I have a funny story to tell you. It just happened earlier this morning. I asked my husband if he wanted to drive to the Asian store to get food as I told him last night but I forgot the store named at that moment. He said, he will go to the bank in that direction then ok. After that, I walked up stairs and headed to my computer's room to look at the store name and before I entered the room, my brain gave me the name. haha I turned and walked downstairs passed the wall and steped there. It is only four steps lelt to the ground. I told my husband who was still sitting at his computer's desk by the sliding door that could see the deck and the green yard. "it is Panda Express". haha

This morning, I asked my husband if he wanted to drive to the Asian store to get some food, just as I had mentioned the night before. The problem was that I couldn't remember the name of the store at that moment.

He said he was planning to go to the bank in that direction anyway, so that was fine.

After that, I walked upstairs toward my computer room to look up the store's name. Just before I entered the room, my brain suddenly remembered it.

I laughed, turned around, and started walking downstairs. When I reached the point where there were only four steps left to the ground floor, I called out to my husband. He was still sitting at his computer desk near the sliding glass door, looking out at the deck and the green backyard.

"It is Panda Express!" I shouted.

The funny part was that I had walked all the way upstairs to use the computer, but my brain remembered the answer before I even got to the room.

Sometimes our brains work in mysterious ways!

Notes on the improvements

Grammar

  • Corrected verb tenses and article usage.
  • Added natural transitions between events.

Clarity

  • Explained the sequence of events more clearly.
  • Specified who was doing what at each moment.

I immediately turned around and walked back downstairs. When I reached the landing, there were only four steps left before I got to the ground floor. From there, I called out to my husband, who was still sitting at his computer desk near the sliding door overlooking the deck and our green backyard.

"It's Panda Express!" I shouted.

Haha!

A few improvements

Grammar

  • "up stairs" → upstairs
  • "computer's room" → computer room or computer room/office

  • "my brain gave me the name" → my brain suddenly came up with it
  • "who was still sitting at his computer's desk" → who was still sitting at his computer desk
  • "that could see the deck and the green yard" → overlooking the deck and our green backyard

AI fixed

My method helped them understand emails, articles, stories, news, and other materials without knowing the definition of every word. They focused on the picture in their minds and skipped the words they did not know. After finishing the reading, they summarized it in their own words. As a result, they understood what had happened in what they read.
