Why has he put “stuff” in quotation marks?
Boomers do weird shit with text. Capitalizing random words, quotation marks for no reason, ellipses for no reason. Its a mess and no one knows why they do it
It's a "Mystery"...
(Illiteracy and cognitive impairment)
Which was caused at least in part by all the lead in everything
“Greg Heffley” STANDARD English.
The only one I understand is double spacing due to typewriters. But everything else is so weird.
I'm "stuff"
Yeah boomers use quotation marks for emphasis
What do you mean? It's completely "normal"!
"Emphasis"?
I feel like there's a big divide with the phrase "so called" as well, since I grew up with seeing it used sarcastically.
because hes stupid
I read it as self-censoring "knows his shit".
I assume he’s signaling to his base that he means “shit.” Conservatives love codes like that, kinda like “Let’s go, Brandon!” meant “Let’s blow Biden!” or whatever.
