          Fair enough, let’s have at it, Mr. “King’s English”. (God, do you even hear how insufferably pretentious that sounds?)

          Let’s start with the original comment. My edits in [brackets].

          “God safe us” - [the] irony right there[… something? “is funny”? What about the irony? You have to finish the thought.][missing comma] especially when critical of someone else’s use of an acronym[comma] perhaps one’s own grasp of the English language should be a little better!!! [Overuse of exclamation points, although one could argue the level of severity in the contents of your message…]

          God save us …. [space between “us” and the ellipsis"; and an extra period after the ellipsis]

          Next comment!

          Well then[missing comma] use this as a teaching moment and elaborate[missing comma; also another “then”? Then then then then.] then?

          I live in a country that uses the King’s English[pretentious af but nothing wrong here], not the American version[missing comma] so please enlighten me - [hyphen instead of en dash] I do enjoy learning. [Good, you’re learning right now.]

          But don’t say there are [“is an amount”, probably? I don’t know what the King says, but that’s what I would say] an amount of errors without even trying to quantify them….given [again, ellipsis with an extra period; also the weird use of an ellipsis here – it should be a comma] the burden of proof rests with you.

          Did you learn something?

          Care to elaborate? I may have missed a comma here or there, but what else was wrong?

          I mean your own spelling is rather atrocious - especially when devices tend to have a spell check; “Muphry”? Is he a distant cousin of Murphy perchance?

          Oh and I use the Kings English here in my country, not “US English” ……

          Oh my word, this was embarrassing for you. 😂 My spelling was absolutely perfect, you shmuck. No wonder you deleted it before I even saw the reply in my inbox.

              You’re right. The schmuck name calling was perhaps a bit harsh on you.

              You were “playing” on Murphy/Muphry? What does that mean? It seems like you just didn’t know Muphry’s Law was a thing, and you tried to hang me for “misspelling” it, then you realized what it is and deleted the comment. But maybe I’m just assuming. 🤷‍♂️

              I don’t know if you’re bantering, perhaps you are. I just have a hobby of shitting on people’s grammar that complain about other people’s grammar. It’s this Robin Hood type of feeling I get. I’m probably sick or something.
