  Well if you can’t manage to use the correct words, it does bring you’re credibility into question.

    It doesn’t at all and even thinking it does indicates an extreme lack of critical thinking.

    The idea of correct words, and proper grammar as a means to dismiss someone’s opinion is based wholly in, hateful origins. Mostly racism.

    It’s just a hold over as a way to dismiss the poor and slave classes because they can’t speak “proper” like the landed gentry.

    The only thing spelling, grammar and poor word choice indicates is that the speaker may be a non native speaker, young, poorly educated, lazy, using a different dialect, made an honest mistake, etc.

    None of these things should ever be used to just dismiss someone’s knowledge or opinion.

    Doing so makes you nothing more than a bigot.

      I’ve found that people speaking English as a second language are usually better than the average native speaker when it comes to grammar. Something like ‘your/you’re’ is an easily learned rule. It’s the native English speakers who don’t know it only through stupidity. They’ve been taught, but they don’t care and just spew words that ‘sound right’ without thinking. And this mentality usually mirrors their discourse in terms of thoughts, logic and morality.

  Tazing a sports streaker feels like punching Grandma in the face for taking too much mashed potatoes.

    Completely justified in both cases, the old baggage needs to learn to stop hoarding spuds and she should be watching her carb intake anyways.

      Imagine pissing off Grandma so much that she attacks you randomly. Like a bat. The furry disease creature, not the baseball… Tool? Are sports gears considered tools? Or toys? Do professional athletes just play with toys all day?? Holy ADHD it’s gonna be a day…

    Looks like a streaker at a sporting event being tazed by security.

  Well I mean if that’s the only gripe then obviously I agree with your comment.

  Something I had to learn over the years is that people tend to get butthurt if you don’t compliment them before criticizing them.

    Ironically it is generally the anglosphere who sucks at their grammar. Since native speakers mostly learn it by speaking and listening they have a harder time with those they’re, there, their situations, while everyone else learns it as a second language, primarily through reading and writing. The latter is obviously better suited for good grammar.

      well grammar.

      (j/k, and in that case should I have said grammer mayhaps? :-P)

      Native speakers of any language tend to not give a fuck about homophones. It can vary a bit exactly what between languages. But every language has plenty of things that native speakers just do not actually give a fuck about. Language doesn’t need to be remotely perfect to do its job after all.

      Its almost always foreign speakers who learned to do it right that get upset. Since to many having to put in the work to learn things the right way makes them angry when they watch someone just get things wrong that would have gotten them yelled at.

      The rest of the time it’s bigots getting pissy you arnt speaking “right” and attacking your language skills is little more then a stand in for racism, sexism or other hate.

      Enjoy the misused words.

      I have also heard that English is actually a pretty hard language as well, it has so many goofy nuances like your, you’re, or there, their, they’re. Or words with different meanings like the whole Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Bufalo thing.
