    The FBI don’t need a back door, they just to find the plaintext default password some unpaid intern built into the product for testing purposes before Russia does.

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

      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.

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

      But i’m not a native englishian.

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

          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.

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

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

          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

            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.

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

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

          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
