Have you ever wondered whether (or not?) you need to put an (or not) after whether?
Often, the (or not) is just extra fluff and should be left off.

e.g. Ali didn't know whether Ahmed was coming.
in this sentence adding (or not) wouldn't change the meaning or emphasis.

On the other hand, you need the full phrase whether or not when you mean “regardless of whether.” It shows that there is equal emphasis on both options.
e.g Call Ahmed whether or not you are going to arrive on Friday.

The above sentences are wrong❌ because the part that directly follows the 'As a grammar writer' part must be the grammar writer. The person who wites about the grammar is me, not my writing and not people.You must immediately follow that introductry element with thing or person it's describing.

As a grammar maven, I often get asked by people.
As a grammar monster, I .............. .

This is a real surprise,isn't it?
