This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Some corrections:

You may have misread the history. The man is having fun with his current commute and he ~~is~~ does not seem~~s~~ to be looking for some sort of a change in his routine.

You're welcome! I hope I didn't come off as rude.

Nah... don't worry. I know I never check twice the messages I wrote on social media. They are bound to be full of mistakes. Plus my french autocorrector modifies my english. Still, if I write to be read I should try to be readable (^_^)

This person just wanted to feel clever. Your English is fine and required no corrections to understand because this is a forum not a university essay.

We don't know that. Maybe he was genuinely trying to help me improve my English, maybe he was genuinely having a hard time reading me bc of my mistakes. Even if it was about being clever there is no point for me or any of us to react with negativity and ruin our mood.
Lets be forgiving. It will make our life better. 🫰

The commenter I replied to is from a French instance. If I were writing in a different language, I would want to know where I've made mistakes.

I didn't ask for your life story.

Actually, in a way, you did! You said "get a life", which indicates you think I don't have one. Me giving you information about me shows that I do have one. So now you're more informed than you were before!
