TIFU by not checking my grammar on a Reddit post.

r/

This is one of the most humiliating things that has happened to me in a while, and thank god it was anonymous and only seen by internet strangers. My dad wanted me to post about a particular situation, and he does not use Reddit. I posted on a popular subreddit that isn’t super saturated. When typing the story, I was on the phone with my dad so he could tell me the details, and I was mostly taking notes. I need silence when writing, or I will completely shit the bed. My dad continued to talk as I was typing the story. I posted it without reviewing it and noticed people quickly looking at it. The post got absolutely clowned. I first got questions about using ChatGPT. Others said they were surprised I went to college. It felt like I was part of a humiliation ritual. I was so embarrassed. I looked back at the post and agreed that it was poorly constructed. So, if anyone posts, especially in a subreddit that will garner attention, check the grammar in your posts.

TL;DR: I made a post with bad grammar and got absolutely clowned.

I have no excuses if you find grammatical errors because I checked this time.

    People that continue to hate on this shit, are just losers, trying to jump on a cheap bone. The other day in a completely not-related, a person misspelled the programming language COBOL as COBAL, so the asshat who is arguing turns it into a “you’re stupid b/c you can’t spell”. Being in the same profession, its incredibly petty, to tack that on to a non technical discussion, for an “Argument win”.

    If dad doesn’t use reddit, why on earth would he want you to post something on here?
