To every retard arguing about the stupid fucking grammar, here's a proofread version of the meme's text:
But one of those people is wrong ; someone painted a six or a nine . T hey need to back up and orient themselves , and see if there are any other numbers to align with. Maybe there's a driveway or a building to face, or they could ask someone who actually knows.
[...] No one wants to do any research ; they just want to be right.
Only two of those sentences need correction. The sentence
Maybe there's a driveway or a building to face, or they could ask someone who actually knows.
Is fine because the comma separates the two conjunctions and makes them not sound clunky. That's using a comma for a pause that's legit.
The other two sentences actually are godawful and the overused commas do NOT indicate any pauses. They're just poorly written and need periods and semicolons in their place. They'd honestly be better off rewritten.
Jesus Christ, all of you. Facts and objectivity don't just go away because media conditioned you to treat grammar corrections as hurtful, unnecessary quibbling over shit that doesn't matter. It DOES matter. Shitty grammar is literal brain cancer. It makes text hard to read and unfairly puts the onus on the reader to figure out what the hell is being said, allowing speakers to get away with being lazy and selfish, and we can't do that if we're supposed to have a functioning society.
shitty grammar is a literal brain cancer
I've got a fun joke for you: what's pedantic, hyperbolic, obnoxious and doesn't know what "literal" means?
People who whine and bitch when their shitty spelling or grammar is corrected, of course.
Shitty grammar is literal brain cancer.
Um, akshully, it's metaphorical brain cancer.
Lol that's the spirit
Literally is perfectly acceptable. According to the Oxford English Dictionary
https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/literally
Do you realize that not everyone can actually learn to write well? And sometimes it is a person who is just learning a second or third language. I have dyslexia, probable ADHD and English is not my native language. I know my grammar and spelling are shit half the time and while I personally don't take correcting my writing badly, it definitely won't fix the issues in future. It is not about laziness or selfishness unless we are talking that it is selfish for me to try to communicate with people no matter the limitations. You never know what is happening on the other side of the keyboard so maybe be a little less judgemental.
And Act 2 of the fucking show: playing the disability card as if no one will see through the obvious dishonest ploy to garner sympathy.
Stop fucking lying, you are not disabled. Some of my best friends actually are, and it stems from developmental delays suffered from abuse. You can get shit like dyslexia from abuse, did you know that? Delaying education to a certain age permanently strips a human of their ability to even be fully educated.
You know what they do regardless? Use grammar and spell-checking tools. Have some of us proofread what they write, especially important work emails. Not a single one of us plays the disabled card to avoid responsibility toward readers or other people or even thinks it is acceptable to do that unlike your camp.
So now we can add ableist to the laundry list of awful things people like you are, and it's not a joyful or pleasant thing to have to add.
Lazy asshole disease is not a disability. ADHD, dyslexia, and developmental delays aren't labels you can bandy about and lie about having to weasel your way out of admitting you are wrong. Whether you yourself actually have those conditions or not is irrelevant -- you are enabling others who don't to lie by applying them to everyone who protests when called out on the problem, and you hurt society by making it acceptable to just lie to avoid responsibility. What you are doing is deeply problematic and cruel to people with actual learning disabilities, all of whom know this post isn't talking about them necessarily anyway.
You're really fucked up.
What the everloving fuck did I read?
First of all, I don't know who you think you are talking to but I am not lying. I 100% know how abuse affects you as I was abused most of my childhood and teenage years. I am not playing any cards, I am reminding you that calling people selfish and lazy when you do not know them based on something like grammar is ignoring multitudes of factors you have no idea of using myself as an example. And this is not a work email. It is informal language used in meme. And by the way, even though I am using a grammar checker on all that I write, it is not perfect. Of course, people also check the language when it is more relevant but the majority of people are not using it for all texts.
My point is less about bad grammar and correcting it and more about how you are going around correcting it. You also have no business defining what I should and shouldn't take from your writings when you didn't spell it out. My point is that requiring perfect grammar when you do not know the person writing from Eve is problematic especially when you call everyone with bad grammar selfish and lazy. Taking the multitudes of factors that can cause people to have bad grammar into account is not a problem. Painting everyone with the same negative brush is.
I am telling the truth, too. I myself even have touches of dyslexia myself, and yet here I am not using it as an excuse to make life harder than everyone else.
So do millions of other people. And so are you, responding with high school/college level spelling, vocabulary and grammar which you are somehow mysteriously capable of doing when you want to win something.
So clearly, it is possible to expect dyslexic people -- like myself and my friends -- to be held to the same standards as everyone else.
You don't have a right to demand people assume everyone who refuses to watch their spelling and grammar is dyslexic.
You don't have a right to demand no one hold anyone else accountable for anything intellectual or to not let us expect people to know, understand, or do anything. That's not how life works.
If you are dyslexic, you have to be doubly careful because of it. And it may not seem fair to you, but life isn't fair, and what you want is an unfair burden on everyone else, including us other dyslexics who do understand that.
You doing that is insulting to the rest of us who do have various learning disabilities and struggles who have to be associated with lazy, selfish people like yourself who think that you're entitled to skate because of it. You are not, we want to be treated as equals to everyone else, and here you are fucking it up using our disability to imply we'll never be as good as everyone else and therefore have to have our hand held and treated as an inferior, and I am telling you no, you will not demand we be mollycoddled because you think no one has a right to hold anyone responsible for anything.
Disabilities are not excuses and you're not going to turn them into one. You have to adhere to the same standards as everyone else whether you like it or not.
No it doesn't, you just want to feel better than people who don't know english as well as you. Grow up, jackass, maybe stop using ableist slurs along the way.
Nope, it's a genuine, serious problem. And if you want to talk about ableist while throwing shit at the wall hoping something will stick, maybe you ought to have a look at what the others are trying to pull in this very thread.
You badly need to grow up yourself.
