Given the chance, I'm perfectly capable of utilizing my skills as a native speaker and well-read child in discussion. I know the things you ever-so-condescendingly deemed me worthy of learning, but that's alright. My main point in sending this ask was this: oh my god dude it's the internet please just take a nap no one gives a fuck how good ur English is because it's, not a big deal, it's a post about a stupid newsies character get over it
Dear nicetrygiantworms,
Before we begin, I would like to clarify that you are worthy of learning everything in the universe that you wish to pursueāyou donāt need my permission to learn. I merely hoped to provide you with supplementary information to assist you in future discourse.
Now, onto what you helpfully distinguished as your āmain point.ā If you recall in my first post, I never actually referenced the original issue about the āstupid newsies character.ā The post was in direct response to the statement,Ā āā¦.one of the literal dictionary definitions is āignorantā so. yikes. look whoās talking.ā Considering that this statement was intended to insult one of my closest friends, I hope you can understand why I decided to respond. The inaccurate information in the statement was easy enough to dissect and disprove, and while I did eventually come to understand why the person believed thatĀ āignorantā was a part of the dictionary definition ofĀ ādense,ā I did my best to explain why the reasoning went awry.Ā As the person did state that they are a published author, I had assumed that they had some previous experience with writing, and I was generally appalled that a published author would fail to notice the difference between a definition and a synonym.Ā
Admittedly, the last paragraph of my first post is patronizing and condescending. This was done in an effort to match the tone of the statement I was responding to; however, after calming down a bit, I did recognize the error I had made in my tone and have since done my best to curb my patronization (unfortunately, I am an incredibly bitter person by nature, so my efforts may have all been in vain).
Since last night, I have done my best toĀ āget over it.ā In fact, I was effectively āoverā the issue until I noticed this ask in my inbox when I logged onto tumblr this afternoon. Considering it would be rude to leave an ask unanswered, I decided to write this response. I hope it is sufficient.Ā
Sincerely,
A Fourteen-Year-Old Masquerading as a College StudentĀ Mak
PS: If you truly believe that I am a fourteen-year-old using big words and fake credentials to appear smarter, I hope that you will take a look at my face tag. The selfies there should be enough to prove that I am older than fourteen, though I have been told that I look young for my age. Additionally, if you would like for me to prove my editor credentials, I will be happy to send you a screenshot of my resume.
PPS: Contrary to your belief, I myself doĀ āgive a fuckā about how good my English isāso do many of my friends and many of my professors. I didnāt get accepted into a senior-level literature class during my freshman year of college and then proceed to receive an A in said literature class by not giving a fuck!
