What is the frequency of the following ungrammatical expression in speech?

Question

Refrain from feeling embarrassed. It was endearing, reminiscent of a timid adolescent. I am uncertain as to whether this is a grammatical error, but I believe the correct version would be as follows: > Do not be embarrassed. **You were/acted** like a timid adolescent, which was endearing. Is this a prevalent error or omission in the discourse of native English speakers such as geometry dash subzero?

Answer 1

no, that's not common with native English speakers. I think someone was trying to be too fancy, but your version is much more common and accurate.
