Why does the scale stop on the side after the string? I worked have thought you measured what you were slicing by having the scale start after strong and pushing the cheese along the scale to the length you want and then slicing. Putting it only on the left seems weirdly unhelpful. It’d just tell you what length something was before you sliced it.
Given the context of the post, that they’re asking for help, picking on this seems needless and unsympathetic. Given their own acknowledged problems with speech I don’t see why making a joke about their writing would seem helpful or appropriate.
