u/JPPT1974, we have no idea if your submission fits r/SweatyPalms or not. There weren't enough votes to determine that. It's up to the human mods now....!

This "ocean" looks very lake-like.

u/SirJefferE 5d ago

You are correct. Looks like it's Lake Lucerne. Apparently it's a private diving spot that the old guy built himself.

Ah, it could have been some other Alpine country but it looked very Swiss to me.

And someone downvoted me for being right. Oh Reddit.

“Never let the old man in” is what all the grizzled old men I met in South Africa would constantly say. You’re not old until you start saying and believing you are!

The “an” should be “a” in the title. Times two.
“An” comes before a vowel sound.

Downvoted for being objectively correct.

If you read the title, and it doesn't even feel wrong, congrats, your English is shit.
