I wonder there are how much other usages can take place of the sentence:"Don't take my word for it."

You don't have to believe me.
See for yourself.
Make up your own mind.

Welcome to the forums, Zoe.:-D

Please note that 'HELP ME, PLEASE' is not a good title for your thread.

A better title would have been
Don't take my word for it.

Extract from the Posting Guidelines:

'Thread titles should include all or part of the word/phrase being discussed.'

I'll change it for you.

There is no need to write a post to say "Thank you". Every post has a "thank" button in the bottom left-hand corner. Simply click on that button on any post you find helpful. You don't need to tell us that you plan to be more careful next time - just do it! ;-)

The facts speak for themselves.

I have no idea what that post referred to but, in any case, "OK" needed to be in capital letters and we don't leave a space before an exclamation mark. Having said that, I see no reason for an exclamation mark at all.
