You have a good memory.

[-] ahto@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

I was gonna call you out on 18 years being way too long ago... Then I realized that 2005 was, in fact, 18 years ago. I feel old now.

It's good to see people's feelings of superiority have carried over from Reddit.

Your weary welkome

[-] Gullible@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

I like never reading “should of”, as well. Every browser and phone’s autocorrect aggressively suggests a correction to “have.” Sometimes you don’t notice an apostrophe appearing in the middle of a word, so I can forgive “it’s,” but there’s little excuse for fighting with autocorrect to write “should of.”

[-] PearlsSwineEtc@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Correct grammar is remarkable; its' place is here!

For real, its not that hard to get it right.

[-] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I don't get it, its not that hard, each word has it's proper grammar and usage.

[-] null_@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Fewer mobile users maybe? For whatever reason, autocorrect/autocomplete suggestions on iOS always tries to add inappropriate apostrophes to plural words. Without fail, every single time. I sometimes reflexively tap the autocomplete suggestion to finish longer words and it’s really aggravating.

[-] nothendev@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

Because there is a higher barrier of entry, people know what they are doing. That's a good thing.

[-] trouser_mouse@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I barely know what website I am on either

Showerthoughts

30024 readers
604 users here now

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
