I am humans lmao, I can see that. I feel like what I said is a bit more of a stretch, but from a proofreading/editors standpoint, it's not excusable.

Bonus story, in fifth grade, I had to write an essay and I swear to god I wrote "ov" instead of "of" and I had an internal battle about which it should be knowing damn well how to spell much more complex words. After I settled it, I could feel my ears get hot from the embarrassment of even having to deal with it. I wrote ov naturally, then just saw it in writing and was like no, there's no way. Then I erased it and wrote of, then thought no fucking way, there's no way they landed on 'f' for a 'v' sound.

English is and always will be German, French, and Spanish in a trenchcoat pretending to be one language.
