I just wanted to thank my friends here

I'm not a smart man. I didn't graduate highschool. Hell I barely passed my GED last year. I'm not a good reader, my 6 year old reads better than me. I'm no spelling expert, I'm no grammar expert. When I post here most of the time it's raw and in the moment. I know I miss use things like we're were and where, than, then, too and to. And most recently of and have.


I'm just posting to help clear my head, vent and let some of the crazy out. Or to share a moment with the friends I have on here that I know they will enjoy something good

I'm not trying to get an a+ on an essay. I just need a place to talk the crazy out in my head. And sometimes I just fat finger shit and I don't even notice.



So thank you to my kind friends on here who don't point out my errors, don't make me feel bad. Thank you for just knowing what I'm trying to say and letting my many errors on here go bye or buy who knows lol.

It means a lot that you don't care if I didn't got an A in grammer class or English. Because I can tell you I didn't.

Any maybe this post could of gone better or maybe it could have gone better I really don't care.

Honestly if my poor uneducated writing style bugs you that much just block me. Please don't try and make me feel stupid, I don't need any help. I do just fine on my own.

Hello, most people make mistakes. I know I do. Even when I proof read there are still mistakes!
There is no need to point out obvious mistakes. As long as people can read and understand the meaning of the post why worry about mistakes?
Those people who continually point out errors are snarky and I would pay them no heed. If they reply to a post of yours, simply do not read it. No need to block, I find ignoring them is just as effective because they are not getting the attention they seek.
I am glad to be your friend, following you along your journey that is fraught with trip ups and muddle ups.
All through your trials and tribulations you come out ahead.
Keep going and you will be able to look back in your dotage and be proud of all you have achieved.

@Gusman thank you so much. You've been a great help to me with your support on here.
So what if you don't write perfectly... I doubt that any of us are 100% perfect 100% of the time. I know that I'm not (I have dyslexia).

You're not the first person to be imperfect and you won't be the last - infact, I had to turn a typo of mine into a joke the other day because I didn't proof read.

@HootyTheNightOwl I had someone get very snarky with me because I wrote could of been when I guess I should have said could have been..... I forgot to use help me write to proof read my post. 🤷🏻‍♂

By the way it's a life saver because I use it all the time at work and chatgtp but not here....

They even called me a troll lol.
Whatever, I'm just glad most people don't do that here!

I have found your posts refreshingly honest and wholesome.

And they do not stand out in mind as poorly written. If people have been making fun of your grammar, I am very sorry to hear that.

@DrWatson thank you so much

We write the best we know how and that's okay, I think.

@caPnAhab trust me I don't know much

Hey I'm bad at English myself. This is sw, the grammar is the least people care about in here. Just be yourself and vent all the way!

@mindstruggle your English isn't bad at all. Better than some native speakers.
Granted, a lot of them wear red hats, but...

the grammar doesn't matter. kindness and integrity sure do. you have that!
Cigarguy101 · 41-45, M
@akindheart thank you
Most people here make mistakes , you continue as you always do , keep it up mate 👍🏻

@BridgeOvertroubledWaters I don't understand the point of pointing out someone's mistake especially when it's a pretty raw post to begin with.
@Cigarguy101 some people are plain nasty
Please try to ignore the grammar nazis. They’re the ones who are truly ignorant. There’s actually a bunch that goes back to my early days on Q&A sites (2007) and they’re nuttier than Christmas fruitcakes. I’ve blocked several of them since unfortunately they’ve migrated to SW to spread their brand of crazy.

Anyway, you’re plenty smart, you’re doing just fine and your posts are a welcome addition here. Remember that! 🙂

@OlderSometimesWiser I try, I was tired last night and couldn't sleep and I was just kinda in my head. Thanks you for your support over the past few weeks.

@geoam1 really it's why I post. Sometimes I'm just so in my head I gotta write it out somewhere.
