Its my experience over the years of talking to people, you don't need a scientific paper for that, its called intelligence, but don't threat about it, its your choice, do what you need to.

LOL! The word is most definitely "Fret". It's called English. You should look it up.

It's not called intelligence, it's called the "I am the world" fallacy, the mistaken belief that your singular experience of the world constitutes the entirety of reality.

And, seriously, it's "fret." You are talking to an English major who actually writes books, here.

Well I am not English major, but I cannot see how that makes any sense in your sentence.

Well that is what I meant, so don't threat about it lol, only joking.

Here let's try it with synonym of threat as a verb.
Its my experience over the years of talking to people, you don't need a scientific paper for that, its called intelligence, but don't warn about it, its your choice, do what you need to.

No that doesn't work. Maybe synonym of threat as a noun.

Its my experience over the years of talking to people, you don't need a scientific paper for that, its called intelligence, but don't danger about it, its your choice, do what you need to.

Still no.

I guess we just have different definitions of the word threat. Oh well. Whatever you meant is fine with me.
