      I don’t wanna be that person but an “aisle” is what you walk down in a store and an “isle” is a landmass surrounded by water.

        Nah, I’m that person often enough - well deserved. I seem to be losing my distinction between the two of late, as this isn’t the first time I’ve screwed them up recently. Thanks, will correct.

          Like I feel bad since I totally understood what you’re saying and it didn’t hamper your message.

          I also know a lot of non-English speakers use sites like this to practice and just don’t want them mis-learning.

            Facts are facts, & I have little respect for people who can’t deal with them. I’d rather you correct me than allow me to continue making myself look like an idiot. We’re all humans, and we all make mistakes - anyone who acts otherwise is an asshole not worthy of respect. As long as we’re respectful, honest, and fair with one another, then there’s no need for embarrassment or feeling bad as you did because you’re trying to help, not harm. Anyone who doesn’t see that has a screwed up perspective on things.

            Thanks again.
