    Just add a after sentences that could be taken the wrong way.

    Don't be blunt, instead of saying, you are wrong i don't think this cat is meowtid i think its fluffid, say; do you see fluffid influence? or say 'interesting! i think its more fluffid?'

    I think it's completely okay sometimes to sound rude.
    Okay, maybe not rude but certainly a bit more like a man...

    You are not rude at all, one of the nicest members around actually. If you are not explicitly using ad hominem attacks or using irony to stealthly insult someone else or their "group", then the other way you would be perceived as rude is if you were too blunt with someone, don't be blunt then. Bluntness is not universally perceived as being rude though, since this is a "multicultural" space some people view it as merely being "honest".

    Also to expand your vocabulary just get yourself an online thesaurus and leave the tab open as you browse TA, whenever you typr up a word which you find is lacking in vocabularic richness, go to the thesaurus tab and look for matching synonyms, if you practice as you shitpost on TA you'll just learn by second nature, no need to bore to yourself to death with a dictionary, good luck.
