Glad to hear it. Kind of odd, I’ve had no problem making the switch and neither has my wife.
I got better as a writer not from just growing older but from feedback - from my PhD adviser, from reviewers of my papers and from critique groups for my fiction.
My Orgo teacher used the example of an article from one of his doctoral students which was rejected (not sent back for revision, which is part of the normal process, but rejected) on account of writing piridine instead of pyridine. Since the compound in question was the solvent, it appeared often. Both the original thesis in Spanish and the article in English with a single but frequent misspelling were available for perusal.
Technically, it’s fraud (or conspiracy to commit fraud), but the author of the paper could probably get out of charges with a simple disclaimer by saying something like it’s a “model paper” and that it’s only to be used for educational purposes.
All they have to get is a passing grade.
