You have roasted barley, an orange bell pepper and a well-stocked pantry. What are you making?
This is a hard mode challenge.

“Good thing there weren’t dozens.” You will NOT realize that you are engaging in the very pedantry you judged just one comment ago, will you?
“this many days” If 1 is many to you, you have to realize that you got so, so many criticisms for your communication.
“I processed the criticism and determined that I’m okay with the idea that some people can’t figure out […]” In meme format, “No, it must be the children who are wrong”. There’s nothing inconsequential about multiple people giving you the very same feedback.
“Nothing of value is on the line here” - like I said, it’s about your future (communication is also important in social life, love life, career, etc), so I wouldn’t say nothing. If you like to make these challenges, people have even given you some valuable feedback how to fix the bugs, but if you decide not to, meh; there’s enough content on the internet.
I was not insulting your ego, but the part about living in with narcissist fits. Because then you’re used to everything slightly negative being an attack that you have to defend yourself against, where you can’t lose even an inch of ground. And by protecting everything that is part of yourself like that, you deny yourself improvement. Because improvement is by definition change. If you are unwilling to change, it means you are unwilling to improve, and that is your personal decision alone to make.
Take this and improve yourself with it, or not - but let me be clear that a further defense is not gonna add any value. It’s like with a poster, or a joke; even if you explained it well somewhere else, it doesn’t make the original thing better.
I didn’t say anything negative about pedantry. I said there’s a difference between it and the abuse of the language.
I think that sums up the whole conversation here. A few people that are determined to interpret anything said in the most negative way. Even if they have to make stuff up.
I’ve stated my position. This is a volunteer community. People can participate or they can opt not to. I did something my way. You can do something your way. If you choose to complain instead of contribute, that’s up to you.
