It’s not so much that Americans are uneducated… it’s more that they’ve developed a resistance to being educated…one could perhaps say they’re vaccinated against knowledge.

Stupid sexy Flanders

Ah I see now, I had to expand a section on that page to see that text.

Yes, it claims that it is okay for informal speech, and I disagree. For me, it sounds really jarring to hear people drop the “ly”, and every time I hear someone do that, I subconsciously correct them.

I do not agree with the premise that commonly made errors are “correct” in informal speech, nor that posts full of grammar errors are okay in an informal setting like social media, and the reason is that kids learn how to spell by being exposed to written text, and the majority of that text these days is social media, meaning that they’re being constantly exposed to errors, so they never learn how to spell, learn proper grammar, or how to professionally communicate.

There’s a very fine line, in my mind, between ‘informal’, and ‘incorrect’, and in this case, I think misuse of adverbs falls into the incorrect category.

In other words,It’s okay to make mistakes. It’s not okay to consistently misspell words and simply declare it to be correct simply because the writer uses language that way.

I’m not sure what your point is. That link appears to support what I said. Are you agreeing?

No.

I mean, there’s certainly a lot of misuse and poor grammar out there that does use it incorrectly, particularly in the US , but it is incorrect to use “wrong” as an adverb.

We’ve created the great filter that explains the Fermi paradox.

He directed 8 episodes of TNG, as well as First Contact and Insurrection and some of the newer stuff too, in fact he said that when they brought Riker back for Picard, he was terrified of screwing up, because he hadn’t acted for years, and had only been directing.

Autocorrect failure ?

*wrongly (it’s an adverb)

I could never get my sandwiches to flower

SHOCKING DEVELOPMENT!

Would you say he’s competent at being president of the US ?

He is a moron, and constantly demonstrates that by failing to achieve simple goals. He’s also a narcissistic psychopath with dementia.

His supporters are largely also morons and they think he’s really smart.

If he was as smart as he claims himself to be, his plans wouldn’t be as transparent and obvious, and he wouldn’t keep being struck down by even his own judicial appointees.

To “clown around” is to be inept or incompetent at a role. Calling someone a clown in a derogatory context references that meaning.

As a species, we don’t need it, but as individuals we do.

Hotter than boiling water !

The US doesn’t protect pedos per se, it protects the disgustingly rich and those connected to them.

It’s just that there’s a great deal of overlap between that group and the pedos

I suspect Tate is not in the obscenely weathy group, or he wouldn’t have been imprisoned in the first place.

Have you seen blue origin (bezos’s rocket)…it may as well be the Giant Johnson from Austin Powers.
