Comment on My father the tween literary critic
toynbee@lemmy.world 1 day agoI assumed you were referring to Wayside School, so I made a comment using the words “way” and “side.” I didn’t doubt your intentions at all, but I understand my comment sounded like I did.
I considered preemptively adding something to indicate I wasn’t being critical of you, but thought it might detract from whatever humor might be derived. Hopefully I haven’t ruined your opinion of me.

Ahhhh, ok. Thanks. Sorry for not picking it up. FWIW, “sideline” as a single word, and seeing this prior to having enough coffee to resume normal brain activity, is what threw me. Also, not being smart probably played a role.

No need to apologize. I probably should have done something to make it more obvious, like bolding the relevant words. In my eyes you’ve done nothing wrong; likewise, I hope I didn’t offend.
The sincere response is appreciated and I suspect you’re underselling yourself. Hope you have a great weekend!
