 * I tried to change the line about using good manners before commenting. When I
   did I caused a syntax error.
 * Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/content/92/10072992/html/
   wp-content/themes/path/functions.php on line 333
 * I need help correcting this!!

 * Connect to your site via FTP or cpanel and replace that `functions.php` with 
   the original one.
 * Once you are able to get your site back, open a new topic on how to change that
   comment text properly. Basically, you don’t make changes directly to the theme,
   you should only make changes via child theme.

 * Download the fresh copy of that file first, go to theme download page and download
   the theme, once unzipped look inside the folder you will see only one file named`
   functions.php` this is it.
 * Once connected to your server via FTP, locate `wp-config.php`, when you see that
   file look for a folder called `wp-content` go inside this folder, then go inside`
   themes` and then `path`.
 * Replace the `functions.php`, done.
 * **WARNING:** If you are not comfortable working with files live on the server,
   don’t do it yourself because you will risk making more serious mistakes, let 
   the person who installed WP for you take care of this.
