This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

"the ones I spied for weeks"
Words hard, apparently.
Genuine question from a non native English speaker here: what's wrong?
We would usually say "the ones I spied on". English is the only language I've ever spoken and although it sounds weird to not include the word "on", I really dont see why its necessary either.
It's supposed to be "the ones I spied on for weeks".
"only reason the doom is not doomed"
he am good word man
I can empathize.
I'm a native speaker and sometimes even my words refuse to English right.
I think that's just how British brain rot wording works. They all talk this way. Read some of their news paper headlines.
unlike those American headlines
Those last two are definitely intentional.
