Hello, it's Zap! If you read this it's most likely on a P2TM roleplay thread. I'm not a native English speaker (or writer for that matter), so if you notice mistakes I am happy to receive feedback. I know I'm prone to dangling modifiers, capitalization mistakes, use of commas, and other errors. If I were to use a semicolon, there's a 97% chance I just put it there because they look fancy; I have no idea how they work. If it's spelling it just means Grammarly wasn't cooperating. Thanks.

The UK shouldn’t just remain in Europe, it should replicate Europe: proportional representation, adopt the euro, join the Schengen area, shift to Western European Standard Time (and scrap DST while we're at it) and become a republic (eventually). We’ve always sat at the edge of Europe when we should sit at its heart!
