Such a simplistic language and yet someone of your eminent intelligence has trouble constructing the most basic sentence.
While above retort would be marked in class , under achieving, could do better even by own standards, needs to remain behind after school, in order to not defer progress on rest of class, as teacher called upon, to spend too much time correcting this student.
I will suggest going down a year, with the hope arresting over taxing educational expectations, causing obvious anxiety and questioning of self worth in present class structure.

Proper sentences please. Even a one liner, preferably to a teenage grunt.
But if all too hard, just continue work on your pocket puppetry. With continued practice you'll likely get better leading to who knows what?

That was a proper sentence. Unsurprisingly, you don't know one when you see it.

Unfortunately your inability to be able to tell what's right from what's wrong, is evidently heavily compromised. Add failing eye sight to the equation as well and short term diagnosis not great, I'm afraid. Longer term...well we won't go there.

I always find New Yorkers to be very friendly. In fact this trip I will be staying in Manhattan with two groups of friends made over a few beers.

The concept of sharing a drink with new friends does seem to intrigue you troubes. I get the feeling it is a foreign concept for you.

haha brings back some memories for me. If you search syntax in these forums you will find me raising the same point with our friend troubes. I'm sure he looked it up in the dictionary, disregarded the definition and came up with his own definition meaning the opposite of the word, thus satisfying himself that his syntax was just fine (more Dunning-Kruger).

Hence we are stuck with this tortured and at times indecipherable gibberish. But it wouldn't be the same without him.

Indeed. My favourite bit of troubes' prose in this thread is this beauty.

Both seek to awaken the masses consumed by their apathy towards their ideological thinking. But not the same Progressive politics differs from Far Right in part by seeking to reach out to the greatest number of people, by igniting very differing issues.
It starts with a full-stop – as all good sentences do – and then just trails off into I'm not quite sure.
