Subject: I am not stupid.
Well I do have a right to think you're a merperson, right? I mean, you did say "humans" as if you're not human yourself!
And also—
Maybe you're the one who's stupid. Because you can't even capitalize any of your letters. You're so stupid, you can't even write in good grammar.
Sincerely, Sera.

Subject: my god, help me.
i am human, if that's what you're wondering (which you most likely are, based on how many questions you're offering me) and what i meant by that sentence is that i'm not a normal human.
i function like everyone.
but i'm so much more clever than those other humans.
an fyi, i don't cap my words just because.
sincerely,
anonymous.

Wait. . .
So you're saying you're a human yet you say you're more clever than everyone else? How does that even work?
Oh.
Or maybe—
You're just stupid and you think your stupidness is smart! So therefore, everyone else is stupid to you, when really, all human beings are so much smarter than you!
Sincerely, Sera.
