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.
Literally none of those things are predictions for the 2020s. Those are just issues from 24 years ago with suggested (neoliberal) solutions.
Germany largely addressed those concerns as you can see from the huge uptick in economic activity starting in 2000. The article did not predict the 2008 crisis, it did not predict the crisis with Russian gas, and so I’m having a hard time understanding why you’re trying to slip this by people outside of a history community and acting like it’s relevant.
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.
I don’t see how it was a far-right revolution. The president resigned after he refused to follow through on his promise to build closer ties with the EU which was one of his campaign promises. Afterwards they elected a Russian speaking Jew to lead them. Where are these far-right policies and leaders?
I do see far-right policies in Russia. Torture, rule by decree, banning words like “war”, arresting journalists and political opponents, poisoning people, invading sovereign countries.
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.
Jesus Christ make it stop.
