proofreading

Something nobody does on this site, thus paving the way for incomprehensible gibberish that looks like it was written by retarded infants who were thrown at brick walls, half of whom (not the walls, you doofus) were promptly scooped up and thrown farther by garbage trucks. That should explain why this shithole feels like an asylum.
Proofreading your definitions will not give you cancer. Just do it. Please.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
