Your sentence is proof you shouldn't be teaching your kids how to write.

Lemmy threads aren’t formal writing, they’re textualized speech. Of course you’ll find non-standard phrasing. Note that the punctuation and spelling are correct.

What you call formal writing is what many people would call writing that is most easily understood.
