Please correct/edit the following paragraph:

Though one word would be insufficient to describe you, let me give it a try. First word that comes to my mind when I think of you is ''Down to Earth Person'', and mind you, there are very few such persons these days.

It’s a difficult question for any man to answer… Whether to follow his dreams no matter what… Or to give in slowly and let life lead you where it will.

"Down to Earth Person" is not a word.  It's four.

Suppose ''it's four = one word''.

Hi Stannum,

What do you mean?

Cute.

'Come again?' means 'What do you mean?' or 'Would you say that again in another form that may be more accessable to me?'

P.S. Feebs gave you the perfect word to answer your original question.

I should say or write something like this: "Though one word, even one phrase, would be insufficient to describe you, I shall try. You are, I think, a down-to-earth person, which is remarkable, as there are so few such people these days."

Hi Stannum,

In what way did Feebs give me the perfect word to answer my original question?
