Ngl it worries me when I see comments cut off like this, I get this might be a bit, but it's also bot behaviour.

Nah, just ADD ๐Ÿ˜‚ I often see what I wrote and think to myself: "How the Fuck Why did I write a comment with such bad grammar. I should know better." Than I remember my writing process: I start a sentence,write the next sentence. Go back to the first sentence to add something more I wantend to point out or I suddenly had an eureka moment for the formulation and go back to rewrite it. Than I go back to the fourth sentence. Sometimes though, I do it mid sencense and think the sentence was already done and move on.

That + many orthographic mistakes because I write on the phone, have big finger and no auto correct because my main language does not have auto correct.

You would think that proof reading before sending would fix it but no. It just makes it worse as I start rewriting already good formulations making a frankenstein monster of a sentence out of it. Usually, I just figure out the next day when I receive such a comment pointing out how awefull my grammer is.

I get you. I have the adhd brain jazz too and much of what I write gets garbled for similar reasons. It's mostly word orders, punctuation, and awry phrasings in my case.

Glad you're not a bot!
