When you don't proofread your responses, replies, and comments, it makes me want to cry. When you use words you don't understand, it makes you sound like an idiot.
Case in point:

| Did you find the problem here? |
Anyone else catch the problem here? She's talking about weight, but uses the word "emancipated," meaning freed from slavery. I believe she meant "emaciated," meaning thin to the point of starvation. Of course, she could also use some help with "It's" vs "Its" and comma usage.
Please, please, please - when you leave a response for someone, know what you're talking about and proofread your response before you click the little "post" button.
Sincerely,

Also, the commas there are awkward. Either use hyphens or rearrange the sentence so "guy" can be modified differently. ("He is one of those rail-thin guys who eat like cows and yet never gain a pound" or "He is one of those rail thin eats-likes-a-cow-but-never-gains-a-pound guys.") Although I'd go with the former because it's easier to modify, though you have to watch the plurals!
ReplyDeleteOr perhaps, to simplify, "He is rail-thin, eats like a cow, and never gains a pound."
