I think you need to be more careful with your writing. Your sentences are easily misconstrued. I'm sure there is a poster on here who once wrote for a newspaper, perhaps, you can get some tips from them. Good luck, Van!

"Yeah, like, i mean, it's not like our job is about teaching the English language?"

Mods will discuss the use of other languages on this forum.

Raining quite hard this morning. Of course, I'm a real man and don't need an umbrella. Every man I passed had a look of weakness and submission in their eyes. And the women were giving me the eyes. A few even unlinked arms with their boyfriends after seeing a real alpha man walking in the rain. However, now that I'm at my desk I'm shivering a little from being wet and cold. The price of being a real man.

Your sentence was ungrammatical.  I pointed that out to humerous effect.  That is all.

Humorous?

As a professional English language teacher you should know full well: that sentence had an ellipsis. Online communication follows the rules of conversation more than book publishing.

Factory workers punch clocks, and 7-Eleven workers [do likewise].

Applying the charity principle of interpretation - and moving with the serious part of one's thinking - results in a clear reading of its meaning.

Yanking chains is your lot?

Dude, your sentence was ungrammatical. Admit so, or be a child.

I usually use a newspaper. Like my father, and his father before him.

Factory workers punch 7-Eleven workers?  That's assault, that is!

They laughed when I said I was going to be a comedian.  Well, they're not laughing now.

I think I forgot to turn on "외출" before leaving for work today.
