it legitimately bothers me when people cant be bothered to write out “you” in a sentence, like is it really that hard to write out the extra two letters or are we as a society so lazy that it would literally kill us to use proper grammar?
edit: i wouldnt expect the average redditor to understand the intracacies of english grammar, but what i *do expect* is some respect when i do my part to stop us from turning into the illiterate neanderthals i see myself surrounded by every day, not an attack with downvotes, im an avid redditor and i hold my large amounts of karma in high regard
edit: oh so now incomplete words “arent a real problem”? this is how the destruction of latin started, by people abbreviating words because “it doesnt matter if i do one thing”, no, thats not how it works, this is basic meme theory people, one person starts saying “no u” or “ur mom gey” then everyone else starts saying it instead of using proper words the way their meant to be used, and pretty soon english is a dead language which has been replaced by text speak due to the actions of the ignorant masses
edit: and now im being personally attacked due to not capitalising my letters, well guess what? the sole purpose of capitalism is to make it easier for the less educated to read, however i have no problem reading my uncapitalized sentences, i am not the one destroying the english language, op is
