Injecting your personal feelings about how English should be written into everything you write is way more selfish than capitalizing “I.”
right, so why are you doing that then? almost like you are directly contradicting yourself here… hmm
maybe because you’re one of these folks and you are angry at being called out?
let me do you one better, I’ll argue about how I’m the truly lazy and privileged one, because i walk tot he coffee shop, and therefore i am depriving a hard working doordasher of their income and selfish keeping the $5 delivery fee for the $3 coffee for myself, because I horrible no good able-bodied person who is flaunting my privileged by walking to the coffee shop rather ordering delivery. if i truly cared about the plight of the working-class, i’d be ordering as much doordash as possible to make sure my income goes direct to them, or something. blah blah i’m a massive prick because i have a higher income job and work from home and I am stealing that from someone else more deserving because of my skin color and penis, or something.
literally have had this argued at me before, btw. almost always by folks whose parents are multil millionaires, who consider themselves to be struggling proletariat in their hipster job that pays shit, but offering solidarity because they order doordash everyday, and hey you can just call up the bank of mom and dad and ask for $5000 when you can’t make rent this month.

It’s not my personal feeling; as I said, it’s the agreed upon rules that everyone else use that I also use to make communication between us all easier.
maybe because you’re one of these folks and you are angry at being called out?
I mean, I’m quite obviously someone who capitalizes “I” for reasons I have repeatedly stated, so I guess? I don’t know why that computes as “anger” for you, but… okay!
They’re not my rules. They’re our rules. I didn’t create English.
You and I both agree on the definition of “I,” “never,” “agreed,” “to,” “any,” “of,” “your,” “rules,” and “weird,” otherwise you wouldn’t have bothered typing that out. You knew I would understand what you wrote because we both form and express ideas with little characters known as “the Latin Alphabet” in specific permutations known as “English words” in specific permutations known as “English grammar.”
Those are all rules. Your childish “Fuck the system! I communicate how I want!” is naive, impractical, and not a principle you actually follow or you would be typing complete gibberish non-language via Wingdings and everyone would ignore you accordingly. You’ve accepted that some may ignore you because you break some English rules, but you do agree to follow most of them.
In other words, you desperately want to pretend not to care about how effectively you communicate with others, potentially to virtue signal that position, but you don’t actually believe that deep down. As they say, “larp larp larp sahur.”
no, i just think it’s funny watching you climb up this flag pole and show your bum.
when more well-adjusted folks don’t care. How many langauges do you speak btw? I speak three and have studied 7 at a collegiate level, including some linguistics.
And yet, I don’t agree with anything you said because well, I understand language is way more interesting what you are going on about, and you’re just factually wrong on many accounts. But hey, as long as you get to feel smug, educated, and superior over differences in grammatical presentation, right? because we both know, that’s what it’s about. feeling superior to someone who doesn’t reflect your narrow minded obsessions with what linguistic legitimacy is, so you make this absurd ‘argument’ that is a tautology, as if saying A = A, is like owning me or something.
But yeah, my grammar school teachers hated the shit out of me because they were like you. But my college professors liked me for those same reason. I wonder why that is.
also the utterly absurdity of you going off about grammar on a thread about doordashing where i was agreeing with you in the first place, but you just got so angry over not agreeing with you in the right grammatical style. hilarious internet shit, all of this.

Holy fuck you used a capitalized “I!” Guards!
i never agreed to any of your rules. weird.
