This post is not valid English phrasing. It has no meaning. All the possible modifications to make it valid English are contradictory. The syntax is valid, but the semantics of the words don't fit the syntax. For example, "ends" is a verb. "end" is an adjective or noun depending upon whether "end" is or is not followed by a noun.

I am a native English speaker and my undergraduate degree is a BA in English lit.
