wow! imagine if this post was funny, informative, or even fucking correct at all

I notice you didn’t give an example of the title with appositive commas though. maybe because it flows like shit?

or alternatively, and hear me out here

lecture me on fucking grammar again like a mediocre grade school teacher and get banned

I'm assuming you're a mod or admin here? I'm surprised you took my explanation as lecturing... I was merely explaining in what way that title is wrong when you mocked my comment. No offense meant.

Stand up straight when I'm talking to you!

I never knew you were a person who wielded a lot of power here. I'm glad you mentioned that, as anyone with confidence in themselves should.

If I catch you missing another capital letter or punctuation mark, you're off to the principal, you hear me?

Please accept my apologies and hope that we can overlook this momentary lapse on my part. Please, no ban?

but while you’re briefly still here, you know what really helped me when I was 13 and still an absolute shithead about what I was led to believe was the one true proper english, to the detriment of my ability to write with tone and feeling?

I read achewood and I finally understood how to write with texture

anyway you won’t take this advice because you’re the type who gets off on incorrecting someone else’s writing, but for a better audience than you: read achewood and finally understand
