Anyone ever post a message (as you can’t edit once posted) and fucked up by a minor typo?

I was writing “I’m just grateful for what I have, and, thank god I’m not in a funk today”

I actually wrote “I’m just grateful for what I have and thank god, I’m not in a funk today”

So now I come across like Britney Spears 😅

Yeah people who don’t use punctuation piss me off no end. Face Booke is the worst and I love reading out a paragraph that doesn’t have a comma or full stop and I read it all without taking a breath. Typos occur fairly often on my iPhone and it changes it and I’m like a thick then when someone reads it and can’t decipher it. I think it’s mostly younger people who don’t use punctuation, probably not taught in schools as much now.

There's a lot to be said for punctuation. It can make or break a sentence.

Happens to me all the time.

I blame my chubby fingers but more importantly, the small keypad on my phone.

This is one thread I shouldn't really care about with my dyslexia but some people just find words difficult.

I dont care about spelling but I really hate full paragraph sentences.

I get that people make spelling mistakes and thats not a big deal. But when you are talking to someone you pause after a sentence so a comma or full stop shouldn't be too much to ask.
