IT’S REALLY NOT THAT COMPLICATED:

LOSE: To fail.

LOOSE: Not tight.

APART: not together

A PART: a segment

AXE: a tool

ASK: question

YOU’RE: you are

YOUR: belonging to you

Some of you weren’t paying attention in second grade, and it shows.

What about desert? Dessert? Ah crumb I don't remember

2 S in dessert because you always want 2nd helpings

With this knowledge this enemy will be easy to suppress. Thanks G.I. Joe

I was literally taught this in grade 2 and have never forgotten it.

Your losening a hole can of worms with the axe/ask one

but what is the aks about I've always wondered why people say aks instead of ask in movies sometimes

Metathesis. Interchangeable syllables within the same word. Happens with more words than you’d think, but imo her axe/ask is more of a cultural/old english/accent difference and the other examples are just people being lazy and/or dumb.

I’m not talking about the way people say it. I’m talking about the way to spell it.

You’ve actually seen people spell ask with “axe”? Or do you mean aks

Spelling. Yup.

Wow lol. That’s bad

Amen

privilege speaks

Huh?

lol hahaha

lack of education does not equal lack of will or want. your cousin might not be wrong. maybe think about it before making fun of others lack of education?

Imagine thinking you can police what other people get to say but I can’t? I’m not responsible for the way that you’re perceiving my post, because I definitely wasn’t coming from a place of making fun of people’s lack of education. Stupid is as stupid does, I’m sure you can identify with that. Maybe you need to examine your privilege assuming, as I said, before, that only privileged people are literate, and only underprivileged people make these mistakes. You are tone policing my tone policing and telling me I’m wrong for it? Blocked because annoying.

she/her why is it always these types and WTF is it with these people?

Tell me EXACTLY why you don’t regard HER post as an education to willing learners, but instead some sort of flexing intellectual muscles? And the people who read her post and are willing to learn, Why do you presuppose that their souls are so brittle that they crumble infront of something that is in fact completely correct?! Isn’t that kind of condescending towards the people you say you want to shield from..something.

How is expecting people to use language properly a privilege?

Let’s just keep degrading expectations until we devolve all the way back to just grunting because PrIvIlEgE wtf??

You spelled “devolves” wrong 😑 #[3]

The paradox of predication:

Predicate = "Is not true of itself."

Is it true of itself?

-If it is, then it isn't.

-If it isn't, then it is.

The predicate is both true and false so it's a contradiction.

Bigotry of low expectations.

Precisely because the people that don't use language properly are the same people that complain about people speaking in Spanish in America because, "If you want to live in this country, learn to speak the language!"

It's really quite ironic...

I don’t follow this comparison

The redneck that takes his immigration frustrations out on some poor Mexican family that want's to order food from a taco bus, in Spanish. Yet he can barely speak prope English, himself.

Ahhh ok. Ha! Yes this certainly happens!

Hmm ok, but I do think if you’re going to immigrate somewhere (legally or not..) then you should learn the local language.

When I travel, I do my best to learn at least a little bit of basic vocabulary. Not only for my own navigability, but to show respect to the people who live where I am going. I think it’s arrogant for me to show up in a foreign country and expect everyone to speak English. That’s also part of the charm of travel in my opinion. The opportunity to learn another language, another culture, and the way that people live in other places.

Only about 10% of communication is verbal. Body language is fairly universal. I worked with a deaf guy, in construction. None of us knew sign language but we always seemed to get our point across. (Especially the part where we all have a beer when we are done.)

In America, the microcommunities setup by immirants makes it not necessary.

Omg guys! I was just realizing this was the first time I saw anyone say the word privilege in the context of creating drama on nostr and on a hunch I checked "its" profile and lo and behold.....

Pronouns in bio.

My very first nostr block for drama. They grow up so fast! 😥

hOw DaRe YoU tOnE pOlIcE says the tone police

Insta block. Go back to Twatter hag.

See, this is when I’d like a downvote option.

lol I posted this on fb too and one of my cousins just called me “elitist”

?cid=2154d3d79l8p3g0to3aazcq2jiw147haao21vokao6hzoeta&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g

no doubt

Everyone in this country has the opportunity to be literate. GFY for thy the assumption that there aren’t privileged idiots or intelligent underprivileged people. Annoying.

that's a block 🤙🏻💜

fr?

fr. i don't have time for someone who tells me to 'gfy'. she clearly has no patience for civil discourse, so i wish her well.

imo a lil fragile looking

dont take everything you read on ths Internet too serious

but ofcourse, in the end, you do you ma'am

not fragile. just no time for gfy. now go get ready 😅

No time for your privileged classist finger wagging tone policing in attempt to limit my free speech. And now you’re victim positioning because I told you to go fuck yourself. lol grow up

GFY 🫡

Step 1: don’t be on Facebook.

Step 2: profit.

This is how I keep in touch with family, stay on top of local events, and manage my clients Facebook and Instagram ads professionally so not going to leave Facebook. But I get the reasons why.

Godspeed!

They think it's elitist to speak precisely? Then they're implicitly advocating for trained confusion.

And also, "privilege speaks" ? That's the essence of envy and anti-truth. It's like saying "Property is theft." The truth is, everyone speaks.

Privilege speaks is violative of itself because if privilege speaks, then the man who wrote it wouldn't have said it. Lies can't be spoken without the speaker violating their own words.

The fundamental assertion of "privilege speaks" is "Competence is evil." That's the lie. But competence is morally good because it enables a person to make better choices that improve the state of the world.

The truth is, people speak, and speaking well is good.

bruh i know but i may suffer from blind ass and impulsive high functioning dumb syndrome, so pls forgive me

How do you know it was second grade?

I attended school. And have a child in school.

I commit verbal crimes from time to time, especially if I'm tired or in a hurry.

What grinds my gears is the mixup between *then* and *than*.

If {x} then

x > than y

i wrote right instead of write yesterday

still thinking about that today

😂 I wrote good instead of food

"eating some good rn AMA"

I often write “if” instead of “with”

I know the feeling.😁

I had a period some years ago where I had forgotten the distinction between lose-loose. Glad it was reparable and wasn't the onset of aphasia.😄

loose is not tight

lose is lost/losing

? 🙏😬

Yup.👍

As a recovering grammar nazi,

I have made possibly three typos thus far…

Well, they weren’t really typos.

My brain moves faster than my thumbs, and I occasionally leave out a single little adverb.

But it haunts me.

🧘🏼‍♀️

Typos aren’t the same as consistent misapplication 🫡

This is factual information 🫡

🧘🏼‍♀️

“Intelligence”

I know proper spelling and grammar. I have an impressively sesquipedalian vocabulary. These stupid phone keyboards are too God damn small. And when you spend more time correcting mistakes than typing the message some days you just give up and hit send and hope people get it. The day someone invents a floating regular keyboard sized keyboard I can whip out a moments notice the mistakes will stop.

Meanwhile half the time the mistakes i make are usually the first letter of the word but the rest is fine. Which is the day I learned that auto correct really doesn't take that into account. It will offer me entirely different words because my golly green giant thumb hit the wrong first letter.

A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.

"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife annual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"I'm a panda," he says, at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.

You forgot alot and a lot. One is a word and the other is not 🤣

It’s not that hard, but sometimes i still confuse some words 😅

Bitcoin: ??

Crypto:💩

Nuclear vs nukular

Cavalry vs calvary

Specific / pacific 🤣

Keep it up Alana - don’t be discouraged by libtards.

Language is a tool to communicate and it evolves to suit the times. Shakespeareian English, which is awesome for some, has lots of created words.

Having said that, when people use 'loose' instead of 'lose' it makes me chuckle.

Also, English predication rules, like math set theory rules, are paradoxical.

Second grade? More like an issue of consistently not reading long form text. You learn this kind of thing through reading. The axe/ask thing is an issue of accent, which doesn’t have anything to do with education.

Your post is attracting a lot of attention.
