Oooh. “A valid paraphrase”!

“Not literally, word for word, no.”

Right. It’s not what I wrote, it’s what you imagined was a ‘valid paraphrase’.

If you had a legitimate criticism, you wouldn’t have to ‘paraphrase.’

(Also, you seem awfully concerned with how I spend my time. It’s not up to you, but thanks for caring.)
