Proper usage of ‘s.
Guy joined my team a few years ago and uses ‘s for literally everything, and now most of the team does it too.
It bothers me every time, and I’ve typed corrections into the message box so many times but never hit send.
I've got news for you.
Okay, honestly, I do have a choice each day about which tickets I work in which order, and 'literally' isn't the only reason a ticket will be the Very Last one I schedule. There's also 'emails', 'the ask', 'the spend', and a list of other pathetic Used Car Salesman words.
And I don't want to stand in the way of people's success; especially when they don't know their nouns from their verbs and are just trying to get through the day before their crayons run out. But people who can use words property will get a bonus of being first.
Lmao, I actually debated whether to say “literally”.
I typically hate that word too. But I wanted to convey that it’s a constant thing, not a fluke. He thinks it’s a “literary rule”. So using “literally” seemed… “literally” appropriate.
😣 Did you, @[email protected] ? Are we to believe that you have no ass, because of laughing?
At this rate, this thread is gonna become deep and pedantic.
It's turtles all the way down, my friend.
