OK,

What I was talking about were his correction, since you commented on the "u" now I'm a little iffy about his correction, and I wanted to know if you could tell me what was wrong with the correction of my sentences up above Mr Wordy.
thank you

  • I'm asking you for five minutes of your time for you to read this.
  • He talks down to people to make himself feel better. -- OK
  • Getting second place twice is like coming in in first place once. -- This is possible, but "in in" is slightly awkward, and you may prefer to say "... like coming first once".
  • Getting second place
