    This is why using the correct word is important. Don't use "where" if you mean "were".

    Looks like you live in Nevada. I am planning on competing at a horse show in Vegas in early October.
    There should not be a space after the start parenthesis, just as there is not a space before the end parenthesis. The parentheses do not obviate the need for a period at the end of the sentence.

    Here's that annoying space after the start parenthesis again. You say your errors are due to things like being tired from cleaning horse stalls, but when it is the same error repeatedly rather than random errors it does appear to be ignorance of the rules of punctuation.

    People educated me on the modern use of them/they/their and I didn't insinuate they were mean. I appreciated the feedback.

    I might not have an ATM card, but even I am not that stuck in the past.

    My city is conducting vaccine clinics at schools in the evening and I assume these are open to anyone who wants to get a shot. I have thought of going there and letting people know if they get vaccinated it won't get their life back to normal, they will still have to wear a mask. Since it's in the evening it would not be disrupting classes. But I'm not there yet. Instead I emailed the mayor and city council requesting they remove and replace the current Board of Health as an interim measure until I can hopefully get the structure of the Board changed which is a longer process.

    The value of the "ignore" function on this forum has just been proven.

    You might want to seek help for your OCD. It’s obviously making you very unhappy.
