suggestions about things without giving them any real thought and you
present ideas in this meandering way, often full of profanity.

you lack the vocabulary and grammar to express yourself properly. That

people in this world will make that presumption until it has been
disproven.

I was planning a new personality anyways, thanks for the heads up.. sometimes
self-judging can be difficult and you helped in that way.
I guess I liked being childish, but I do not like all of consequences of
that.

I guess swearing is cool, regardless: I agree that my vocabulary is
limited, or
at least my usage of it, I also planned on dramaticaly expanding it, but
that'd
significantly increase my body's CPU usage when composing sentences, so I'll
have to see that trough to the end.

I liked acting like a monkey, but not being treated like one.. I guess stupid
of me, huh?
Perhaps that's one of ways I let out my stress/anger out without even
realizing
it.. so irresponsable!

Because of you, I grow, so I thank you deeply.

I apologize to everyone not who got offended, but to whom I was just a waste
of time.

P.S. I like some of vocabulary that the Christian bibles use such as 'thy',
'thereforth', 'whom', etc.
I guess a suckless bonus for those who read: I use a homemade one-liner to
browse trough words be it for a grammar check or just to remember the word
itself:

/* Output the list of words to dmenu, and after the user choose one, output
 * that to xclip and remove the last newline character(if exists) */
static const char dmenudict[] =
  "cat /usr/share/dict/words | dmenu -c -l 40 -i -p 'Word:' -nb '#222222'
-nf \
    '#bbbbbb' -sb '#FFFFFF' -sf '#000000' | xclip -i -r";

I like how one could do just a couple of letters at the start, end and the
middle and it will give you the word you were looking for, which is
perfect for
grammar-checking, for example searching for "po s ble" when wanting to
know how
"possible" is spelled, etc.
The /usr/share/dict/words file might be in another path if it exist on the OS
you use.
