The sentence is:Quote:
Being nervous sometimes, I can come off a bit awkward.
Is there a grammar problem here, and, if so, what?
Technically, the word should be "awkwardly," the adverbial form, but it would be closer to the meaning you intend, I think, to phrase the sentence as "Being nervous sometimes, I can come off as being a bit awkward."
I really, really hate those emoticon thingies.
