    Honestly, I’m bi in a hetero relationship currently, and this would summon me like nothing else.

    Except maybe masculine crying to Johnny Cash singing “Hurt.”

          It’s empire of dirt, but I suppose in his case, cardboard cutouts of his likeness could have worked as well. He was covering Trent Reznor’s song though.

            He didn’t cover it, he claimed it. It’s a Johnny cash song now.

              Bob Dylan had recurring whinges that covers of his songs were often way better than the original. It seemed good-spirited. So this happens.

              I just which, when artists covered Scarborough Fair from Simon and Garfunkle, they either included the Canticle counterpoint or they chose more cohesive passages from the traditional, since the cambric shirt bit and the farming pepper on the sea strand part are two different sequences.

        Unified grammar and spelling increases the speed, accuracy and universality of communication

            True, but I, at least, had to do a double take. I’m not a native speaker, but it’s much the same in my native language.

            Being understandable feels like the minimum ask of language, isn’t it better to also make it easy to read to a broad audience?

            Not saying you have to be a dick about it, just that prescriptivism has its benefits.

      Apart from hating the abbreviation, what’s wrong with this? It sounds somewhat grammatically correct.

        when you say something belongs to you, you don’t call it “I’s thing” - you call it “my thing”.

        if it belongs to your friends Jim and Bob, it’s “Jim and Bob’s thing” or “Jim’s and Bob’s thing”. likewise, when it belongs to your gf and yourself, it makes more sense to say “my gf and my” or “my gf’s and my”, rather than inventing a brand new word that sounds so very stupid.
