It’s almost like there’s people who don’t care about minor grammatic issues and are annoyed by people who think something hastily typed on a phone needs to be ready for publication.
Yeah, gonna go out on a limb and say that you typing hastily isn’t the reason you typed out “could of”. Dunno, maybe it’s how you responded to being corrected.
lol came back to read this out of curiosity, and damn you’ve got some problems. its almost like it would’ve taken less time and effort to just not reply to the correction (or not make that first grade spelling error to begin with), instead you quadruple down on being an asshole. how you rationalize this in your head is beyond me, but hey at least i got a chuckle from you
Neither is going around correcting minor grammatical issues. It’s cute that you think that correcting something hastily typed on a cell phone needs to be corrected for grammar. You must have a rich and fulfilling life to go around grading comments on a internet forum.
I didn’t take it personally. Which is why I think you suck so hard. You would do that to anyone. I know that. It’s why you suck. That’s the whole point I just made. People need to tell you to fuck off more. You haven’t heard it enough.
Nitpicking grammar isn’t just pretentious, it’s privileged. The validity of a statement is not determined by how expensive an education the writer’s parents provided them.
Man like it’s just so simple like being corrected on an opinion or any observation and it’s just a simple switch from “of” to “'ve” like no one even has to beg for you to use the ’
Like sweet jesus man I don’t care if people have a different meaning now about this 🧢 that we put on our heads but man it’s such a simple thing to just swing a little bit to the side and use VE like you don’t even have to add a space man I just don’t understand the chaos I’m crying
Wait, I don’t get it. Are you saying making a grammar mistake makes someone a shitty person? And not correcting grammar enables people’s bad behavior? Like being ungrammatical is morally wrong or something?
And let me Google the def of pretentious real quick:
attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed.
Correcting someone’s grammar online is absolutely a pretentious act. You’ve identified a grammatical mistake - which in this case isn’t even a mistake but a difference in dialect - and you feel the need to call them out on it? What possible benefit does that have except to show off your allegedly superior grammar and thus demonstrate your superior intellect, talent, culture, or whatever aspect of life you think grammar should be assigned to?
Such a solid argument. I don’t like an annoying thing you do, so I’m angry. So angry. Sorry that I had to be the one to tell you that no one gives a fuck about your English degree. It was a huge waste of money, but don’t take that out on the rest of the world by making them read you try to validate yourself.
It’s almost like you have no original thought. As if you fall back on correcting others grammar and spelling because of how utterly unoriginal and vapid you are.
could have*
Jesus this place is toxic
Could of not given a fuck less when I read this.
oof that’s certainly a way to react to being wrong and having someone provide a friendly correction, they didn’t call you a moron or anything

Ya, cuz grammatical issues don’t happen less often when you type slowly and proof read. You got me I must not know how English good.
I guarantee I type more quickly than you, on every type of input. I have literally never used “could of” because I know it’s incorrect.
You’re just lazy.
Yes, I am. Glad we cleared that up.
You’re a cunt.

Being willfully ignorant isn’t the flex you think it is.

Stay mad.
Just strongly believe people who do annoying bullshit need to be told to fuck off more often.
You mean like taking a correction personally? You’re acting like I slapped your mother.
They must be having a really bad day. Or they have some trauma from an old English teacher.
Politely correcting spelling and grammar is like telling someone they spilled ketchup on their shirt.

You did take it personally, but its okay. Sometimes people make mistakes and you need to learn to be okay with receiving the help you clearly need.
Nitpicking grammar isn’t just pretentious, it’s privileged. The validity of a statement is not determined by how expensive an education the writer’s parents provided them.
Wtf are you talking about? It’s not obscure grammar that you can only see in expensive textbooks. You just need to open your eyes.
Why are people so adamant about not being corrected?
Man like it’s just so simple like being corrected on an opinion or any observation and it’s just a simple switch from “of” to “'ve” like no one even has to beg for you to use the ’

Misspellings ≠ dialect

I like that you are winning this argument despite the downvotes by a majority of pretentious users.
Do better lemmy
I never said their statement was less valid. Go make up things to be mad about somewhere else.
Someone called you an entitled douche so they must be angry. Oh ya, for sure.
Seems like big mad behavior to me.

Are we having an argument? I thought you were just venting about how insecure you are about a single grammar correction.
Nope, not really I’m just telling you that nearly everyone thinks your the web forum equivalent of a cockroach.
Nearly everyone? You mean the upvotes I got for correcting you?
