You know, I tough it might be good to fact-check this screenshot. It might be missrepresenting something. So I did a little digging and it turns out that this is based on a document provided by the Republican Study Committee (about three quateres of house rebuplicans are members).
I read the ~~Dokument~~ document (you can find it here) and HOLY HELL THIS IS THE WORST THING I HAVE READ IN A LONG WHILE.
It's so full of lies, half-truths and so, so, so much finger pointing to the "woke socialist Biden Administration" (yes, that is a quote), so removed from reality... It was painfull to read. There is so much utter nonsense in that one document.
Anyhow. The headline is dead on. And it's far far from the worst thing that they are proposing.
I need to bang my head against a wall now untill i have erased the memory of reading this bullshit.
In case you are unaware, you weaken anything you want to say by purposely changing the spelling of words. It panders to those who are like minded, while pushing away those people on the fence you want to convince.
Four words into your second paragraph is where a lot of people will stop reading.
Something to keep in mind if you want to make an impact.
You do also know that in addition to German words being similar, other languages have similar words, right? And maybe they use the spelling they are familiar or maybe their auto correct choose the spelling in their native language. This comment is ridiculous and assumes that first off, everyone speaks English, and second, everyone speaks it perfectly.
