Grace, I have tried repeatedly to engage you on the arithmetic, on the citations, on the plain factual matter of which chapters you claim to have written, and you answer every time with a smiley and a pivot. Very well. I shall attack the one thing you cannot pivot away from, because it is in every single post you make and you cannot edit your own syntax.

I am quoting your post in topic 2667 directly:

GraceWarrior_77 wrote:That tape is the proof. Not a single hex dump from Kael in 24 weeks but I got reel tape with a clock receipt and y'all keep arguin about Gabreil 18:7 when I only wrote 17 chapters


You wrote "I only wrote 17 chapters". Correct so far. But you have written elsewhere, in this very same thread, "y'all keep arguin" - and I must ask, because it genuinely pains me: do you believe "arguin" is a word? It is not. The present participle of "argue" is "arguing". The "e" drops, yes, but a "g" is inserted in its place. You have simply deleted the "e" and declared victory. That is not a dialectal liberty, that is a loss.

And while I have your attention: in your post above you also wrote "i got reel tape". Lowercase "i". The pronoun "I" is never lowercase in English, not in informal register, not in haste, not ever. It is the single most conspicuous letter in the alphabet and you have been treating it like a vowel at the start of a word.

I have counted. Across your last four posts you have used "y'all" eleven times, misspelled "arguin" four times, and used the standalone "lol" as a full stop on two occasions, which I will not dignify with further comment :rolleyes:

You are welcome to keep citing your fabricated chapters. I shall keep correcting your grammar. At least one of us is producing verifiable work.
