    “Witness” I’m guessing too young to say a name give names.

    Edit: pointless pedantry

      I’m guessing too young to say a print the name.

      Just a suggestion. I interpreted what you wrote differently than I think you intended.

          I’m not going to insist that what you wrote is wrong, that would indeed be pedantic. I’m just saying that a casual read of that sentence indicates something different than intended and I suggested that perhaps a clearer version might be cognitively easier for some folks to read.

          Downvotes obviously disagree so that’s fine. But it certainly wasn’t intended as pedantry.

            I think what people are saying is there is no need to be a grammar Nazi. While we all know you get some secret joy out of it, it is generally in bad taste.

          I’m not seeing a single thing that indicates the person you’re replying to is an asshole or a dipshit.

          Your comment though…
