"Translation: all the times Tesla has vowed that all of its vehicles would soon be capable of fully driving themselves may have been a convenient act of salesmanship that ultimately turned out not to be true."

Another way to say that, is Tesla scammed all of their customers, since you know, everyone saw this coming...

The stress of being wary for long periods of time will make you weary.

Good way for people to remember the difference! Even my wife had this one mixed up for a while, and she's very sensitive to confrontation. So I confronted her and she was angry for a bit but now she says it correctly.

I have a good friend who thinks teetotal means very drunk when it actually means no alcohol consumption whatsoever. I've brought it up to him a couple times and he reacts negatively. I haven't heard him say it since the second time.

I don't want to be a stick in the mud about these things, I just want people to improve their communication so they are respected and taken seriously.

If I see something like a there/their/they're mistake I just stop reading the comment. Probably unfair of me but I just disregard the person's opinion. And before anyone wants to tell me that not everyone speaks English as a first language, it's actually native speakers who make that mistake. People who learned English later in life generally know the difference.

The 2 that bother me are lose/loose and rogue/rouge.
