Comment on "I wish you well in your future endeavors"
Liz@midwest.social 8 months agoYour first paragraph is a bit confusing. It’s technically a fragment (replacing “while” with “meanwhile” would fix this), there’s too many implied words, the the ordering of ideas is a bit jarring. As a result, it took me a few tries to figure out you were referencing your own behavior with the second sentence. I’m saying all this because I think it’s the reason people down voted your comment.
Try this:

I hope this wasn’t too annoying, but difficult writing can turn allies into frustrated enemies. I can go into detail about each change, if you want.

Thx, it’s not annoying, my writing is sometimes like this even in my first language.
We-ell, my sister regularly does that on every kind of mistake highlighted, so - not necessary, but thanks again, ha-ha.

Hah, no worries! I didn’t wanna be mean about it, but it seemed like that’s why you were getting flack.
