        “check their phone ringer in a panic”

        You know, like a normal person with a brain would say. It’s pretty sad you couldn’t come up with that.

      New word is created and old word is altered when language skill reach rock bottom.

        Language has always been changing

        Making fun of people for alternate spellings or words is silly, this is how language has always evolved

          As a non-native english speaker, i’ve always google the correct spelling defined by dictionary to respect the language. Wrong spelling is either quickly corrected or learned so i can be better next time i use that word.

          Over the course of me using the internet, i’ve encountered two kind of native english speaker, one that’s so anal about the correct use of the language, the other that will alter and redefine their own language to suit whatever they think it mean. So by saying “alternative spelling”, to me it just basically mean “i’m not sure if the spelling is correct and i don’t bother to fact check it”. I was taught two set of english, one is american and one is british and my country have different english slang, but if a non-native speaker can fact check before posting, i’m sure a native speaker can too.

          I stand by what i said, language change when people refuse to fact check and then justify it. That’s how dialect and slang came to be. I have no say in it if that’s what people want.

            I feel like it’s fine to make up new words or spellings once one has a solid grasp of the language. As long as the new stuff kinda respects the way the language works in general it’s fine by me.

              And that’s why the conjugation goes yeet yote yeetten.
