I have never had a serious injury requiring medical help (broken bones, concusssion, anything that should have you going to the ER, regardless of whether or not you actually did)

While I agree that I think that in most formal situations you should not write that way, I personally see no problem with a more casual writing style like that in a post like this. Seeing as it’s written as the writer’s personal account of their journey to regain privacy, a slightly more casual writing style is fitting. The benefit of a more expressive writing style, in this context, outweighs the potential reduction in clarity, given that most readers will be able to use context clues just fine.

As a side note, y’all shouldn’t be so quick to downvote this guy. While I don’t agree with his perspective myself, it’s still a fair point of view to have, and it ain’t like it’s being written in bad faith or such. But that’s just my two cents, I s’pose.

I don’t know the term for it (I’m sure someone who does will chime in later), but that still makes sense. It’s a way of typing things out how they’re pronounced. Some other examples includes: ‘at’ll (as a shortening of “that’ll”), ol’ (as a shortening of “old”, as in “good ol’ boy”), or the most common y’all being a popular southern way of shortening and contracting ‘you’ and ‘all’.

Note that I’m not claiming this is perfect proper English, but just saying that from the perspective of myself being a native speaker, it makes perfect sense to me, and just adds some character to how my mental voice reads their text.

I just wanted to say I’m almost exactly the same way, and it’s kinda cool to see someone else stuck in this halfway point, lol. The way I describe it is that I can picture the concept of something in my head, but the moment I try to focus on any details, it gets warped or corrupted or simply won’t manifest any more detail. Same on struggling with faces/remembering people, not so much on spatial orientation.

While I haven’t played chess in a long while, I can kinda draw off my experience with similar games and logic problems I’ve worked on. I can kinda hold the concepts in my head, but not really visualize it. So I’ll not be envisioning the chess board, but I can still easily puzzle out “if I take this pawn, that one will take my rook, then I can take it with my knight”, etc.

Minimalist logos. I love minimalistic design, but I hate how absolutely BORING logos are becoming. Looking at you, Firefox…
