It’s absolutely insane that we have a former President showing off some of the most classified information just for clout.

The fact that he was caught doing it so casually to someone for no benefit without a second thought indicates to me that he definitely profited off of it too.

I miss it. There’s just not enough people here. Refreshing doesn’t bring hardly anything new, none of my favorite communities exist, and where they do they’re so small that nothing gets posted for an entire day.

I mean, I know these things take time but I’m pessimistic.

Shakespeare did not “make” changes, he’s just a very good record of changes that had taken place.

They use ‘of’ because they don’t understand (or pay attention to) the grammar of what they’re saying.

Sure. Because it sounds identical. " 've" and “of” are both pronounced /əv/, hence the confusion. Native speakers write what they hear. If you ever want to stop errors like this, the only solution is spelling reform.

“Should’ve” and “should of” are pronounced the same, what are you talking about? There’s no way you can mix them up in speech. Are you even a native English speaker?

It’s because “should’ve” and “should of” are pronounced the same. It doesn’t make sense because they’re just writing what they hear instead of thinking “I’m using the contraction of the auxiliary verb ‘have’”…

Jesus Christ make it stop.

English spelling errors are common because English is not written phonetically. If you fix that, you reduce the errors, not increase them. Spelling mistakes would still occur to some degree (ultimately because one dialect’s pronunciation must be chosen for the written standard) but it would still be an improvement.

Imagine if anglophone students could learn to read and write in 2 years like their peers in Spanish and German speaking countries (many dozens of others) instead of 10.

“US provocation” just means “sovereign countries signing treaties Russia doesn’t want them to sign.”
