Blinkers on BMWs are not included in the basic package.
Blinker subscription must've expired.
This is literally the first time I have ever seen someone say "mustn't" on the internet
Did you think it wasn’t a real word and google it?
I live in the hope you did.
Not today Lemmy grammar Nazis…not today.
A true grammar Nazi would obviously know that it is a proper contraction. No true Scotsman and all that ;P
I didn't, I know it's a word in British English, I just wanted to say it's rare and I haven't seen anyone say it on the internet
Also yeah, I'm not a native language speaker
(And what do you mean by the nazi part? Why would you call anyone a nazi over something like a word?)
Grammar Nazi is an english term that means someone who is very strict about using correct words and punctuation.
It is meant to be humorous. It does not mean they are a Nazi.
Ah sorry then, I didn't quite get that (as said I'm not a native), just wanted to point out a fun coincidence since we learnt that word a few months back in English class
Thanks for telling me
My pleasure. Hope your English studies go well.
similarly shan't became a go-to-word among my clique in high school once we learned it.
It looks less weird when not capitalized
Mustn't've
It's out of blinker fluid.
