Ironically, you have omitted punctuation.
90% of the time I see grammar nazis doing their thing, it's never about protecting the "sanctity" of grammar - it's more about exerting control and attempting to enjoy the feeling of being right.
The other 10% of the time are from people that know its purpose is to be a vehicle for the communication of ideas, and will also make up statistics.
I love me some irony, and felt this comment train was more engaging than the post itself; so I'm contributing to its further development.
Yep, all good. Though in no way was I being a grammar Nazi, I was stating my opinion. I don't bother with perfect punctuation because it's not necessary to be instantly readable.
Also, my nephew told me that putting a full stop at the end of a sentence now is sometimes seen as a bit rude 😅 No idea why, but that's ok, it's still just as readable
Though in almost the same sentence he said that "..." annoys him too. I find they have opposite meanings and he's probably just a wee fanny
Your nephew is a dolt.
Full stop.
We call him Vileda due to his mop-like appearance
“It’s not necessary to be instantly readable.”
Also: “I’m too lazy to learn simple concepts so you’ll have to spend extra time trying to parse my sentences”
Furthermore, you dropped some commas.
