Hello,
I’m a ‘blessed New York-based inquisitive human!’
Can this be used to describe myself?
Is this correct as a description

In terms of English it is grammatical and quite idiomatic.

Wait, but isn't it missing commas? What's the difference here:
I'm a blessed, New York-based, inquisitive human!
I'm a blessed, New York-based, inquisitive human!

It is still acceptable to use the sentence "I'm a blessed New York-based inquisitive human!" without commas. While the commas help to provide clarity and avoid potential misinterpretation, their absence does not make the sentence grammatically incorrect.
In written language, the use of commas is a matter of style and can vary based on personal preference or specific writing conventions. Some writers may choose to omit commas in certain contexts for the sake of brevity or stylistic reasons. However, it's important to note that including commas can often aid in the reader's understanding and interpretation of the sentence.
