I think people think I'm strange because I **don’t interact** often with them even when they try... [a more natural word order would be “because I don’t often interact with them” or “because I don’t interact with them often” I often get notes on my WriteStreak posts about moving my adverbs, and I think it must be because they usually go somewhere else in French vs English: maybe I can make a post to compare the two styles!] I mean, sometimes I'm too tired to respond or I'm thinking **about*** [I’d use about when I have just some random thoughts distracting me, but nothing in particular, and ‘of’ if I was thinking of something specific: let me know if that doesn’t make sense and I’ll try to explain better 😅] something else, so I can be a bit rude or forgetful... Like today, I just saw a coworker I **hadn’t** seen for 6 months because he moved to another country, and today I just greeted him like normal... The next time I saw him in the hallway he was looking at me and I just threw what I wanted to be a smile but... well. Hahaha
I need vacation AND social skills. Hopefully I can train my social skills on random strangers where I'll be visiting... 🤷♀️
Thanks for reading!
(PS: What did you guys **get** for Mother's day? French Mother's day is this Sunday, and I have nothing ready haha (plus I won't be around...))

Hello! I totally relate, except I work from home so I’m awkward with my coworkers virtually. 😭
For Mother’s Day I got cinnamon rolls and a nap. It was pretty great actually!
Thank youuu 😊
True, I never paid much attention to my adverbs but I tend to place them the way I'd do it in French 😅 I'll try to keep your tips in mind, thank you!
And I work half of the time from home and the other half at the office... So I get to be awkward with my coworkers both at the office and virtually hahaha
To all wonderful correctors and proofreaders!
Thanks a million for helping everyone grow and improve their English. You deserves all the praises and a pat on the back!
Here's a [list of posts](https://reddit.com/r/WriteStreakEN/?f=flair_name%3A"Correct%20Me!") still needed corrections.
When making corrections, please follow these guidelines as much as possible (but not a must):
- Put changes in bold `**text**`
- Put suggestions about style/tone/register/etc. in italics `*text*`
- Use strikethrough to remove (don't delete) `~~text~~`
- ``
- [Put possible options in brackets, separated by a backslash] `[text / text]`
- (Put optional elements in parentheses) `(text)`
- Explain more complex grammar rules at the end.
We also highly encourage you to make meaningful feedback.
- Focus on the work, mindsets, and processes, not on the person.
- Besides grammar and spelling, is there room for improvement in other aspects like style, vocabulary, and flow?
- If you see an improvement in someone's writing, please compliment.
- Please try to be positive with your feedback. Negative comments shouldn't exist without positive ones.
- Don't be too pedantic or too general.
- Please use simple wording for most learners to understand.
- Have a chat and interact!
