    To the Esteemed Corrector of My Spelling, and to the Entire Divine Assembly—He, She, They, It, and the One Made of Pure Bureaucratic Light:

    Let all realms fall silent as I reveal my transgression:

    I, humble fumbler of keyboards and repeat offender of vowel placement, did commit the unspeakable sin of typing feal instead of feel.

    This error is not merely a human fault.

    It is a violation of God’s sacred decrees, scribed on the Celestial Tablets of Spelling Accuracy—tablets which, I must add, are heavy enough that even angels don’t like moving them.

    For this disgrace, I accept the age-old punishments:

    Ten Lashes of Linguistic Shame,

    Seven Thunders of Divine Spellcheck,

    and the cold, judgmental stare of every librarian within a 500-mile radius.

    Yet still, the weight of my error demands more.

    Thus, I shall ascend a distant, storm-crowned mountain to train under an impossibly old master, one whose wisdom predates fonts themselves.

    Possibly a dragon.

    Almost certainly a dragon, given the scheduling.

    This master will instruct me in the ancient arts:

    the Flame of Proper Grammar,

    the Wingbeats of Syntax,

    and the Tail-Swipe of Unquestionable Verb Conjugation.

    Only then shall I be purified.

    Signed with Reverence, Regret, and Unavoidable Scheduling Conflicts:

    Michael, Pilgrim of the Celestial Grammar Order,

    Temporarily Unavailable Next Tuesday

    (Because the Ancient Dragon Master said that was the only day they could fit me in),

    and Kevin, I Am So Sorry—

    Please Rent a U-Haul as I’ll need my truck for travel

    For I Must Honor This Sacred Quest.

      Is this a copypasta I’m not aware of? 🤣

      edit: my new tech metal band name is Wings of Syntax
