Not gonna lie, I miss the “would of” bot that corrects people. Some people would actually get pissed off and swear at the bot, not realizing they’re just showing how stupid they are for everyone to see.
My grandparents were very old fashioned and grammar was important to them. I’m not perfect, but I feel I do pretty well, and I never utter a “would of.” But grammar wasn’t the only thing they were old fashioned about. Cooking was sometimes a chore because they had a wood-fired oven. I always called it their wood ov’.
Strongly agreed! That’s been my sentiment exactly. That’s why I’m not at all bothered when people compare the numbers and show how many orders of magnitude more people are on Reddit. That’s just fine with me.
Lemmy scratches the same itch, it isn’t the same 5 posts circulating for three days anymore, and we seem to have reached a critical mass where it feels just like it should, but without the shitty bits.

Same. Sadly, however, the more popular a thing becomes, the more the general population (read: idiots and trash) shows up to enshitify things.

ugh cringe grammar posting
I haven’t seen a single linguist on Lemmy either, I wonder if that means linguists are the morons too… 🤔 or maybe… nah
