Which apparently is exactly why I can point out a sentence with lacking structure. Go me!

And you do it with such skill in convolution!

Edit: Subject/verb/object... which did goldy forget?

Goldy added an extra word . . . "with", otherwise his sentence is fine.

Heh, actually, "which" starts a clause and not a sentence. There is no actual subject to the sentence. But sentence structure is not necessarily important in casual conversations.

I always wondered why Microsoft Word freaked out on me with those green lines of doom everytime I started a sentence with which.

casual conversation is why we're all completely stupid and don't know the answer to things like that.

we should speak as we are to write.

i remember getting Cs and Ds my junior year because I couldn't NOT write in passive voice.

Oh nos! You am wrong.

Which begins a subordinate clause. He needed to put a comma before I which is the start of the independant clause. I is the subject of that sentence, can being the verb.

I believe greet already sort of works how you say you want it to work. It tracks the time you last greeted each person. If you run out of greet slots, it removes your oldest greet in place of the new one. If you want to make sure you don't forget people you see frequently, just make sure you start each encounter with a greeting.

Perhaps the following socials could 'renew' the greet timestamp if each party knows the other?

SALUTE
and, oh I dunno... what do Druids use? HUG maybe?

Harlies...? BONK ?

Last two jokes aside, I think you get the point.

Hugging is for elves. It is why they are called tree-huggers.

I am a bit annoyed that I 'forget' people in my own faith and the tribunal. Which is dumb because who tribunal will automatically tell me their races and classes and then they walk in and I don't recognize them?

Thankfully a lack of greeting on the parts of others only prevents me from effectively rewarding them as PAR and not tarnishing or blemishing the deserving.

Do the amount of greet slots you get vary by factors such as race, age, and class?
