I am beset by solecisms.

Touche, I had to look That one up.

I mean, I've got a million Rwandan Francs. That's a pretty generous offer, right? Cash!

It does sound generous. Maybe a little too generous…

That sounds like a big floppy joke, or something!

Humor is primarily what motivates me to use "big" words, but unfortunately it sometimes annoys people

TIL what a solecism is.

I've sent so many messages with typos while using my phone, only noticing them later.

My outbound email sig from my phone is:

"Responding from Antarctica. Please forgive the typos, the penguins are trying their best but their beaks have difficulty hunting and pecking"

TIL what a solecism is.

See now you made me look up the abbreviation.

TIL what a solecism is.

I think I've forgotten the meaning at least once or twice in the past. I've forgotten and relearned an embarrassing amount of words.

Someone using my handle!!?

I'm always editing posts because I want my apostrophes! A lot of times when I'm typing dont or doesnt or isnt my autocorrect never corrects it without me actually typing it with the apostrophe. I will hurry up and post only to realize an apostrophe is missing or I've used the wrong spelling.

That's me too. I never notice them until they're posted.

I'm always looking up spelling and punctuation (Like 'They're').
