My favorite was the would of/would've bot.

I feel like I haven’t seen a single person use “could of” or “would of” here.

The defense on Reddit was always “NOT EVERY1 ENGLISH FIRST LANGUAGE”

I don’t have the largest sample size, but I’ve never met someone who makes this mistake whose first language isn’t English.

I see what you did they're

People whose first language isn't English (and especially people who apologize for their English) almost invariably type perfectly, lol

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
