I Am A Tolerant Person

I think that I am very tolerant. I can accept people as they are regardless of race, body type, physical appearance, mental or physical health, or age. I can accept people's interests and preferences just fine.

I just can't cope with textspeak or slang or urban language. I'm not even going to try to interpret any of those versions of communication. To those who think I'm being intolerant.. No. I have ocd and I need to be presented with business/formal English. If you want to use Old English (like Shakespeare), that's fine too. I have difficulty with typos, but I think I have good tolerance of them as long as they aren't my own. I'm not able to perform small talk very well, so I apologize.

Also, I don't understand cliches. If you tell me that you killed 2 birds with one stone, I'm just likely to think that you are heartless. I'm sure that there are dozens of cliches I haven't heard and won't be able to decipher.

@KayraJordyn That is something I was just talking about. "Wut" is not a word.

I was being facetious.

I apologize. I did not read the OCD portion of your statement.

@KayraJordyn Lol. I appreciate your humor. It's fine. Maybe people might think I'm the grammar police, but I have noticed that I sometimes have felt physically sick from those forms of language.

Feeling physically sick is an unfortunate symptom. I use ginger for nausea, as well as utilizing the scent of isopropyl alcohol. There was a study done where they compared an anti-nausea to the scent of isopropyl alcohol, and apparently the conclusion was that the isopropyl alcohol was overwhelmingly effective. I'm still trying to see if I'm genuinely reacting positively, or if it's a placebo effect. I will wait and see.

@KayraJordyn I eat licorice when I have nausea. I haven't tried alcohol, I will have to keep that in mind. I haven't tried ginger either (i'm not really sure how to use ginger.. by smelling it?).

Ginger caplets. Or tea. Or a slice of root.
