I still see blue checks in Twitter that need to reply with "*you're" kinda bullshit. I do reread some of my posts and I see them littered with mobile edits or just bullshit language that only made sense to my brain at 2am. Thanks everybody for being chill about language. I still (wrongly) imagine that I'm very good with writing, and seeing my own writing some time after it's been published is a nice kick of humility.

    The only memory I have of being corrected on grammar was when Emizeko corrected the title of my first Soviet gulag post because i spelt the title with "penial" instead of saying "Penal"

        No, it was memorable because it was like one of my first bigger posts and I made such a basic mistake and was a bit embarrassed.

        That bit embarrassed got a bit bigger when I learned some people I respect found that post and were applauding its discovery.
