I tried to correct someone's grammar and someone else wrote a multi-paragraph response on why "should of" is an acceptable alternative to "should have".

Best interaction of my life, unironically

The best part is their autocorrect changed it to "should have", so they said something like "should have is just as correct as should have"

Damn, I remember that discussion.

There’s no reason a civil discussion can’t be had, even when the other person insists on being confidently incorrect.

But it's really funny to watch, especially if both of them are wrong and won't back down

Just curious, what was the main gist of their argument?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago

Kind of like the more proper "hell of" instead of "hella."

When you have your English paper peer reviewed and nobody says anything bad about it to fix.

When you write a generally accepted opinion online and have to defend your position like it's a master's thesis.

people who gravitate toward this written conversation-based social media with strangers we never want to meet, we just love to write, mmmkay?

Makes me wonder. Has there ever been a Lemmy meetup?
