I’m still liking the time travel explanation. She couldn’t spell in the past, but she can in the future when she started the OP. Or perhaps the future has roving bands of cyborgs who hunt people who can spell.

To the OP: im stil likin the time trvael xplnatshin. Luk oot\* for Trminatorz

\*in case Canadian is the language of the future.

Your younger sister reminds me of my younger brother who would do something wrong and point at me. I went to the extreme of putting up a spy cam (don’t ask where I got those) to keep a check on what he was doing. When I tried showing it to my mom, she was in fits to hear that I got a spy cam installed. But when they saw it, they realized that my brother was doing everything and blaming all on me.

> “Gimme” would be acceptable here, but still needs to be capitalized, as it begins a sentence. There needs to be a comma after “break.” “Mr.Adult” is properly capitalized and punctuated, but “Mr.” and “Adult” require a space between them. I would change the comma after “Adult” to a period and make it the end of a sentence. That’s just my opinion, though. I won’t take off for the comma there. It could work as one sentence or two. “im” needs to have the I capitalized with an apostrophe separating it from the “m.” Finally, there should be a period after 13 to punctuate the end of the sentence.

We waited 5 days to get THAT response? Dsman, you’re not trying very hard anymore, are you?

Bullshit. Your English is typical of someone contemptuous of education, not a second language user.

Or you’re learning English by reading YouTube comments.

I know people who actually did that, and their grammar is a lot better.

I’ve also wondered why so many trolls are kind enough to start their crap in the pit. It implies that they actually read the rules of the website, and know that this is the place where they’ll get the best reactions.

BTW, if the story was as given, you’d still need to be banned. Eleven-year-olds are not allowed on this site. Clearly the second round of posts is by the younger one.

Alright, we’ve had some fun with this one, but I think it’s time to shut this down.
