> [@iiandyiiii](#): > > So it taught you the “questionmark” thing, but it failed to teach you how to spell “taught” and to proofread to ensure you write complete sentences? Honestly kid, I’m not sure how you can be this pedantic without suffering from some legitimate disability. Thank God for Google spellcheck, if it wasn’t for that you’d still be in special ED. Whatever you do for work can and should just easily be replaced with a robot. > [@](#): > > How sad for you!

Amazing! What a coincidence, huh? No your obnoxiously pedantic posts along are all the evidence anyone needs that you don’t have much of a sex life unless it involves something with MS Paint and .jpegs of Ronald McDonald and Totally Spies. ---
