How’s that boot taste?

baltakatei, in It really makes me cringe every time they talk about logic...

If they had the vocabulary, they probably would say that they live by heavyweight axioms like “Joseph Smith was a prophet of God” and “The Book of Mormon is true”. From my experience, it is possible to exercise logic with flawed axioms so long as you steer clear of a liberal arts education (my mistake, lol).

I will never not roll my eyes when someone writes a plural with a fuckin apostrophe. Low quality, low effort.

jaybone,

Welcome to the internet. Spelling and grammar is optional here.

This seems to be a popular opinion, but that doesn’t make it a good one

Yes, out of hundreds of people who read horrible spelling and grammar, 2 or 3 might complain. If you ask me, the ratio is pretty low. For example, often posts will have a very short title but still manage to contain at least one obvious mistake. If people are going through the trouble of posting at all, you’d think they could be bothered to read back over the three words they wrote instead of mashing the post button without doing so.

tubaruco,

when i see it, i just hope its someone who is not a native english speaker

NewNewAccount,

This mistake is more typical of native speakers. Same as with using “of” instead of “have”.

@Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah most non-native speakers never get this wrong. I wonder if it’s because non-natives learn the language in a structured environment like school, whereas native speakers learn it by absorption, and everyone speaks english long before starting school?
Or maybe it’s just because the American education system is absolutely fucked

TrickDacy,

the American education system is absolutely fucked

I’ve always felt it’s a cultural issue. Just about every kid I knew thought that school was the worst prison imaginable. It was something to hate. If you disagreed with that, you were a “nerd” and should be mocked and bullied for it. That was reflected in the media at the time I grew up too.

What I don’t really get though is how people can read plurals every day 100 times with their own eyes and still not internalize how they work.

Holyhandgrenade,
@Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world avatar

Could it be that if every kid thinks school sucks, perhaps it’s because the school sucks?

TrickDacy,
@TrickDacy@lemmy.world avatar

I always thought it was due to anti-intellectualism. In America it’s a thing.

I of no idea’s what youre talking about. People write that? Makes no sense? But this weird of/have I recognized already

tubaruco,

yeah, but i looked at ops other posts and some of them are in french, so my guess is they are indeed not a native english speaker

I read this as “[A singular] company is showing […]”.

But i’m not a native englishian.

MrVilliam,

Agreed. I’m seeing this more and more here. I would expect this from middle management dipshits who failed upwards. We’re better than this.

Pantherina,

No shit wouldnt that be “companies”? I am not native lol

drislands,

Correct.

Ah so you’ll be using it impulsively on the first thing that crosses your mind, only to regret what you did just moments afterwards?

and never use it fearing that I’ll waste it

Oh I see

Bonehead,

That's natural. Don't worry...when the right time comes, you'll know.

Ah man I set a fire once. So dumb. My friend and I ditched Hebrew school and lit some books and a bush on fire in a department store parking lot.

Then we felt so guilty we called to fire department and confessed! The fire chief made us come in and take a fire safety class and write an essay. We were such dorks.

TIL that I’m Japanese

The_Vampire, in Always wondered how they feel

Let’s be real. A lot of people in the comments are saying “it’s just a job”, but that’s irrelevant. Prostitution and stripping are both jobs, and I guarantee those who work in either have a vastly more difficult time finding people okay with that.

Is it impossible for the significant other to be okay with it? No. Will it be harder to have a relationship? Definitely.

Humans are just crows with rights and anxiety.
