How about ..."to format your post. See tag list below." with that being a href to an anchor where it lists "Perl Monks Approved HTML tags" and other links, after the textinput area.

(I'm also a writer, so my English grammar is pretty good.)

Its so funny that its reads almost exactly the same as its for people that have no native English tongue and that the native speakers cannot parse its unquoted occurrence where the quoted one was meant to be.

(all quotes are intentionally left out!)

I don't read out loud nor was I listening to someone reading it; I was seeing it and parsing it using a path in my brain that has nothing to do with the audio mode.

That the words are homophones mean nothing. Part of speech is everything.

Even so, the modified statement still doesn't make sense. At the very least it is a comma splice: two independent clauses separated with a bare comma. Reading "out loud" where the comma might be a full stop, it still doesn't flow since there is no clear antecedent for "it".

In short, it was a not a near miss with a slight typographical correction to be made. It just didn't make sense as written. I would rewrite the sentence.
