Obwohl ich kürzlich alle <ref> im [[Verein Deutsche Sprache|VDS]]-Artikel aufpoliert hatte, fügst du am [[Spezial:Diff/190196702|7. Juli 2019]] zwei Belegruinen ein, die nur als „schludrige Arbeit“ zu bezeichnen sind:
{{Infobox writer

Und wieso lässt du ''wieder'' Leerzeichen vor &lt;ref&gt; stehen, obwohl ich dich gerade diesbezüglich [[Spezial:Diff/190152182|angemahnt hatte]]:

Dieses ungepflegte Zeugs hast du auch nicht nachkorrigiert, obwohl du alle Zeit der Welt hattest, um das in Ordnung zu bringen. Dafür mussten dann 3&nbsp;(!) andere WP-Autoren bemüht werden, in deren Fehler-Listen der Artikel erschien. Viele IP-Einfügungen haben ein höheres Niveau als diese Beispiele deiner Arbeitsweise (und dies sind nur einige aktuelle).<br />
| death_place =
Auffällig an deiner Arbeitsweise sind auch die vielen kleinteiligen Edits – als ob dir das jeweils spontan einfällt, statt in Ruhe vorbereitet und korrekturgelesen zu sein. Da dürfen Mitautoren mehr von dir erwarten… wundere dich also nicht über wiederholte Ermahnungen ;-)<br />

Strayed's personal essays have been published widely in national magazines and journals and have twice been selected for inclusion in ''[[The Best American Essays]].'' She won a [[Pushcart Prize]] for her essay "Munro Country," which first appeared in the Missouri Review.<ref name="missouri">{{cite web|url=http://www.missourireview.com/tmr-blog/2010/05/pushed-into-munro-country/ |title=Pushed Into Munro Country &#124; TMR Blog |publisher=Missourireview.com |date= |accessdate=2012-12-28}}</ref>


== Personal life ==
Zu dieser Angelegenheit gibt’s übrigens eine [[Benutzer Diskussion:Brainswiffer#Sperre|kleine Vorgeschichte]], bei der auch Fiona "im Raum" war (und eine Nachgeschichte).<br />
Strayed was born in [[Spangler, Pennsylvania]], the middle child of three children. At age five, she moved with her family to [[Chaska, Minnesota]]. Her parents divorced a year later. At age 13, she moved with her mother, stepfather and two siblings to rural [[Aitkin County, Minnesota|Aitkin County]], where they lived in a house that they had built themselves on 40 acres. The house did not have electricity or running water for the first few years. Indoor plumbing was installed after Strayed moved away for college.{{cn|date=December 2012}}
Selten so’n Fall von aufdringlicher Mehrdeutigkeit erlebt – eindeutig wäre:
: <span style="background:#FFFFFF; border:2px ridge #EEEEEE; border-radius:5px; padding:6px 15px 6px 15px;">Mit der will ich nix mehr zu tun haben, sie kommt aber trotzdem :-(</span>
Mehrdeutig ist:
: <span style="background:#FFFFFF; border:2px ridge #EEEEEE; border-radius:5px; padding:6px 15px 6px 15px;">Mit der will ich nix mehr zu tun haben. Sie kommt aber trotzdem :-)</span>


In 1986, at age 17, Strayed graduated from [[McGregor High School]] in [[McGregor, Minnesota]], where she was a track and cross country runner, cheerleader, and homecoming queen.{{cn|date=December 2012}} She loosely based the fictional Coltrap County in her novel ''Torch'' on McGregor and Aitkin County.{{cn|date=December 2012}} Strayed attended her freshman year of college at the [[University of St. Thomas (Minnesota)|University of St. Thomas]] in St. Paul,{{cn|date=December 2012}} but by her sophomore year, she transferred to the [[University of Minnesota]] in Minneapolis, where she received her [[Bachelor of Arts]] degree, graduating [[magna cum laude]] with a double major in English and Women's Studies.{{cn|date=December 2012}} In March 1991, when Strayed was a senior in college, her mother, Bobbi Lambrecht, died suddenly of lung cancer at age 45. Strayed has described this loss as her "genesis story".{{cn|date=December 2012}} She has written about her mother's death and her grief in each of her books and several of her essays.<ref>{{cite article|author=Kirch, Clare|title=Girl gone wild: Cheryl Strayed|journal=Publishers Weekly|date=Jan 9, 2012|volume=259|issue=2}}</ref>
Das der negativen Aussage widersprechende Grinsen signalisiert ''absichtlich'' eine Doppel- oder Mehrdeutigkeit, der Bezug zu „kommen“ drängt sich geradezu auf.<br />
Und Brainswiffers Verlangen, ihn doch bitte zuerst zu fragen, welche Bedeutung ''er'' diesem Grinsen beimessen wolle, ist nur eine [[Immunisierungsstrategie]] gegen unbequeme Auslegungen. So’n Nachfragen wäre aufwändig angesichts seiner 87&nbsp;mehrdeutigen Grinsereien auf der [[Diskussion:Verein Deutsche Sprache|VDS-Disk]] <small>(131.000 Bytes, 35 % des Inhalts)</small>.<br />

: Da aber stattdessen in Brainswiffer’scher Weise ein Lächeln/Grinsen folgt, wurde '''absichtlich''' eine Doppel- oder Mehrdeutigkeit signalisiert.
