I am fully greatful my little rural New England School did a good job teaching me critical thinking. I really loved learning as I grew up and had many fantastic teachers.

To note, over the last 25 years, education funding, for whatever reason, is funded…but poorly

they coulda spent a lil more time on spelling, grammar, punctuation, and composition tbqph. like cmon bro you had to override the spellcheck on greatful.

I've turned off my spell check from my phone to practice. I hope to keep my mind sharp.

(Edit: greatful, grateful, is the bane of my existence since I was young, thanks for reminding me. Im not grate-ful like a flood grate in the road, I'm great-ful. The root word great- means good, happy. The root word grate- makes me think if a metal contraption in the road. This is why my brain does that. I disagree with the root word formation lmao)

I have ADHD, and probably a bit of dyslexia (yes, I still have talk to text on, and used it to spell that word), I've learned as I've helped my son with his learning disabilities.

I was able to mask and struggle through school undetected, my son not so much.

I got tired of computer programming telling me what word I should type next, autocorrecting words I didnt want it to, and a few months ago turned all that off.

This is a casual place, so I wrote casually and didn't edit my paragraphs much for such. Sorry if anything was unclear to you. I'm also sorry you felt the need to punch down on another fellow human.

Read an old book from 1850-1900. The grammar in those books will give you a panic attack. Be easy

you think lil is spelled with 2 ts? idk bro i feel like wed say the ts if they was in the word. my favorite is rejecting quite while accepting acronymization

edit: also quite is superfluous, not redundant

edit2: wait what does breathless mean in this context? I'm not breathing between sentences? is that insulting? am i insulted now?

[–] LookBehindYouNowAndThen@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Thank you for having such a telling username. I hate feeling unsure about blocking someone who may say something noteworthy in the future.

No such doubt exists here.

Cruel Fate, why do I have to be cursed with their loss, forever? WHY, GOD?! Truly, no man has known grief until he has known getting blocked by some guy in a throwaway comment chain.
