Social Media Madness #1 – Corrected Answers

Corrected: I’m so tired! I have physical therapy in the morning. I’m done for the day. As soon as Madison is home from Girl Scouts, I’m hoping I can sleep.

Explanation:
- "TIR3D!!!" → "I’m so tired!" (Corrects spelling, uses standard language, and adds subject/verb).
- "im" → "I’m" (contraction of "I am").
- "physical therapy in the morning..." → capitalized and punctuated properly.
- "as soon as Madison is home from girl scouts" → "Girl Scouts" is a proper noun and should be capitalized.
- Added commas and periods for clarity and correct sentence structure.

Corrected: You should have called me if you needed something.

- "need" → "needed" (to match past tense).
- "something" remains correct but now fits grammatically.
