Minor English improvements for your user page.

[edit]

May I suggest the following 6 amendments, numbered 0–5 for the benefit of the mathematically inclined:

Welcome to my user page! I try to edit English⁰ and Spanish¹ articles in short bursts, and in a professional manner, somewhat like my userpage. Please do not delete or edit my userpage or sub-userpages unless there is a grammatical error or unless I tolerate the action. Also, feel free to communicate with me via² my user talk page if you think I have made³ an error or if you want to talk to me just for recreation (fun), and not in⁴ any other external (outside of Wikipedia) form⁵. Thank you.

Moreover, the last sentence might perhaps be read as

… feel free to communicate with me via … (if … or if you want to talk to me …), and (i.e. but) not in any other … form

or

… feel free to communicate with me via … if … or if you want (to talk to me …, and not in any other … form)

– it may become clearer if you put the condition at the start. PJTraill (talk) 10:22, 7 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@PJTraill: Wow! I am impressed with how you managed to find so many ways to improve a couple of sentences. Thank you for the suggestions, and for giving me the idea of becoming more lenient with other users applying edits on my main userpage, as stated in my new set of edits. You are welcome to apply your suggestions to my user page and continue to do so without my consent.  ⠀—‌‌  Glosome‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌  💬 14:39, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I have applied my proposals, and made a few similar changes, but without your input I can of course not resolve the ambiguity (whether you want people to communicate only via your talk page or, as I suppose, extend your invitation to those who do not wish to use a different channel).
