Honestly, when I mentioned the book earlier in the thread, I had not bothered looking for it for a year or more. Too frustrating. But thanks.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

I missed and left in three obvious errors in the first set of slides I corrected for my teacher. (Should've corrected one instance of "time enough" into "enough time" like the rest and removed two unnecessary hyphens because English doesn't use them the same way that Finnish does ("Excel sheet" instead of "Excel-sheet").) This is one of the few things I am actually proficient at in this school, and I'm incompetent in that too. I can't even have this to take worth from.

Oh well, I guess I can fall back to the old "I'm an amateur who has only been doing this for a month or two lmao" excuse.

ET, those exceedingly minor "problems" are (to my American eye) just UK English versions. Go easy on yourself, hon.

I guess I just thought they're obvious because I'm oversensitive to this kind of thing. XD (I mostly follow the "if this feels wrong, I'll correct it and maybe Google it if I'm uncertain" method when I thoughtlessly mix English and American spellings, so that might also contribute to the problem.)

It irritates me that my most creative time is usually around the time I go to sleep.  Seriously, brain, what the fuck?  Can't you be creative during the hours I'm actually active and can fulfill said creative impulses?  Is that really so much to ask?

Is there any country where racism isn't still a big thing?

Yeah, if the pagans are so smart, why did Jesus invade Pagan-land on the back of a dragon and kill them all!

"Feminists, why aren't you crying out against male domestic abuse?"* is the equivalent of "I know you're a fishing website, but what white wine would you choose to go with this Wagyu beef?" or "Why don't Native American activists ever talk about antiziganism?" Sure, male domestic abuse is an issue, but going up to a group whose mission statement is not to fight the problem you're upset about and whining that they don't fight the problem they don't fight because they're too busy fighting the problem they actually fight... is just fucking asinine when you could just be fighting the problem yourself.

* which is a nonsense question anyway since, outside fringe radfems, I've seen feminists treat male domestic abuse with nothing but contempt

Normally, you'd be right... except for the constant refrain about how "feminism is for men, too."
