Whatever I do with my pen and pencil is my personal choice. You just get out of it.

Whatever I do with my pen and pencil is my personal matter. You just get out of it.

Are any of these correct?

Can I say "Those are my personal choices."?

1. [STRIKE]Whatever[/STRIKE] What I do with my pen and pencil is my [STRIKE]personal[/STRIKE] choice. You just get out of it.

2. [STRIKE]Whatever[/STRIKE] What I do with my pen and pencil is [STRIKE]my[/STRIKE] a personal matter. You just get out of it.

Are [STRIKE]any[/STRIKE] either of these correct?

Can I say "Those are my personal choices no full stop here"? Yes, but "personal" isn't required. "My" is clear enough.

See above.

I have no idea what the blue underlined part means.

I think it means "Mind your own business."

Is that right, OP?

 

[ahsanul.irfan]

What about "You stay out of it."?

What about "You stay out of it no full stop here"?

That works.

Note that when we embed a quoted sentence inside a question, we don't include the closing full stop of the sentence. The question mark serves as the closing punctuation mark.

What about "Stay out of it."?

It's fine as corrected. "Mind your own business" is more likely.

I didn't understand "You just get out of it." I wondered: What do I get out of it?

From a British background I took it to mean "go away" rather rhan simply "mind your own business".

It is something that a British speaker might say in exasperation but not in normal conversation or in writing.
