Good day. Is the following sentence correct? I sat on my shirt and wrinkled it? Is it a correct english usage? Or maybe you are using a different word instead of wrinkle?
 
Good day. This is very old-fashioned! If you really want to put a greeting, stick with "Hello".

Is the following sentence correct?

I sat on my shirt and wrinkled it.

Is it a correct English usage? or maybe would you are using use a different word instead of "wrinkle"?
Please note my comments and corrections above. It's grammatically correct but not very natural. I'd say "I sat on my shirt and it got badly wrinkled/creased". The exact wording would depend on the context (who you're speaking to, whether you're answering a question, the formality of the situation).
 
I agree it's grammatical, but it also seems perfectly natural to me.
