some fucking smartass cunt, the absolute bane of my existence, the most annoying creature in this universe: "please use propper spelling and punctuation🤓🤓"
words can not express the hate i feel for this kind of person

- Seriously. It's never helpful to be smug and condescending about spelling and grammar. When I offer correction, I always make sure to be strictly factual and polite wherever possible, because sometimes people just don't know the difference.
  
  i dont mind getting corrected. what i hate is ppl telling me that my spelling or punctuation sucks without offering any corrections. this is especially great when they use this to discredit me
  
  I thought that correcting spelling or grammar at all is ableist and condescending. If you can understand what they meant at all, then leave it alone. At least, that's what I get told.
- cannot*
  
  shan't*

That’s so funny 😂😂
I can totally understand. Everything about English is difficult.
- Hungarian ia the superior language, everything is pronounced how it's written, no genders, date format is close to iso 8601 wxcept with dots instead of -, you literally just add stuff to the word to change its meaning.
  
  date format is close to iso 8601
  Bro that's all you had to say
  
  Also:
  No guesswork about where to place the emphasis because it's always the first syllable (glaring at Slavic languages)
  No guesswork about pronunciation beause every letter has exactly one (glaring intensely at Russian)
  No guesswork about how to construct diacriticised glyphs or diphthongs because everything is defined in the alphabet
  In general, Uralic languages are always superior to Germanics, and only lose against Nordics because of the cool factor.
  
  close to iso 8601
  Big-endian is biiig
  
  if you’re willing to go back several hundred years then everything in english was also written how it was pronounced. might not be worth it though
- lol
  from all the languages I know, english is the easiest one
  
  i dunno man, i started learning indonesian, that one is really really simple, or at least it is so far. the verb 'is' is pretty much always implied. plural? just say the same noun twice.
  and some of the words are awesome. For example. the word "sock" is "kaus kaki" which literally translates to 'hand shirt'. i love it.
  
  I don't think that English is that hard. It has very easy grammar, you don't have to mess with genders and it has a straight forward sentence structure. Other languages like german, are much harder to learn.
  
  nah JavaScript is easier
  
  So from all of your experience of knowing one language?
  
  Russian is easier
  
  Same
  
  Languages are "easier" or more "difficult" based on how similar they are to your native language. There isn't some objective measure of difficulty across languages.

Is there a programming language equivalent for this?
- using namespace std;
  
  Hope it's not crabs.
- javascript
  
  ECMAScript*
  Are you also too lazy to learn name of the official specification and capitalisation?
  Priorities.

are you too lazy to learn spelling and punctuation

While there is indeed no punctuation, nothing is misspelled. Also, "Understandable, have a nice day, sir." contains incorrect punctuation in the form of a comma splice.
- The first too is misspelled. It should have two Os.
  
  Just like your mom had last night.
  
  Good catch, I totally missed that.
