Sometimes, when I wonder what people are typing, I look at the keyboard and see that the letters are adjacent and give them the benefit of the doubt.

Also sometimes, I enjoy grilled cheese sandwiches and I have to wonder what it is that would make someone so sad as to not eat them on what seems to be principle? Cause cheese and butter is delicious and is the basis of basically all french cooking and if you don't like it, I have to assume that you are a tears and coffee as a staple kinda person.
