I wouldn't nitpick your grammar if "literally" wasn't such an abused word, but a literal marathon would be a long distance run of however long it is. You could use "really" or "actually" instead (e.g. "It won't actually be a marathon") since those words aren't as strong as "literally," and can allow for a figurative meaning (now I'm going to have people nitpicking over the definitions of "really" and "actually" :P).

Carry on....

As you can see, I said is NOT literally a marathon :p

Alright, you got me there. :P

Alright, maybe he doesn't want it, but I know what it's like to be a second language speaker, and I would want people to correct me, especially on things I wouldn't be able to figure out without being told. I don't plan on picking apart his grammar at every opportunity unless he asks for it, though. And apologies to him if he didn't want it. :P

Hey, not a problem, I appreciate it. Feel free to point me out to me any errors in my grammar; I'm sure I make mistakes all the time without realizing it so any help is welcome. At least in this case I knew it wasn't literally a marathon but I was trying to use the broad meaning of the word. ;)

I'm glad that I didn't come of as an annoying know-it-all. (Also, minor punctuation errors, a typo, and one other small mistake corrected for you ;P.)

I understand that some people may take it the wrong way but no problem here :)

I wasn't sure about the use of ''me'' on that sentence, in ''least'' it was a typo, I have a mild degree of dyslexia so I tend to omit letters. Thx again :)
