made grammar worse

Went all "OCD" and "English Teacher" so I could read your post. ;-)

| Mar 31, 2017 at 11:43 | comment | added | Orian | I became fixated on not being able to ask the question in my own voice and my own words. If you people cannot understand that simple fact. Then, I will politely walk away. Nothing more... nothing less. It's your little fiefdom... your edicts. I will not rock the boat again. | |
| Mar 31, 2017 at 11:36 | comment | added | terdon Mod | By the way, I both upvoted your question and asked for a clarification that would possibly help me answer it. It's a shame you deleted it and got fixated on the helpful edits instead of adding the missing information and maybe getting an answer. Still, your call. | |
| Mar 31, 2017 at 11:35 | comment | added | terdon Mod | @Orian no it absolutely did not ramble. But yes, it was (a little) harder to understand before the edit and (a little) easier to understand after it. The main thing that made it hard to read were the commas since those affect the way sentences are parsed. The other edits improved the grammar which is a good thing as well. Of course the post seems easy to understand to you, you wrote it after all. It's not easy to judge how it comes across to others though. As for subjective, I have no idea what you mean. Grammar, unlike usage, is not really subjective at all. | |
| Mar 31, 2017 at 11:30 | comment | added | Orian | Geez! I disagree. But, obviously that doesn't matter to anyone of consequence. None of my posts have ever been so heavily edited. And, my English has not suddenly, become so reprehensible as to require mediation by the grammar police. "OCD Overkill" best describes what has happened here. And, what you are saying is so, incredibly, subjective as to border on unbelievable. The post was NOT difficult to understand. Nor, did it ramble; getting to the point in SIX lines. I'm just a peon here. But, yes! It is idiotic and offensive to change someones words to what you THINK they SHOULD have said. | |
