@vegadegaia@Gotimehomie I grew up on degrassi. And I know there’s a period episode in the OG series. Yet, here we are with Degrassi NG saying ew cooties to periods.
@sqsehrish If it’s a grammatical play on words and we are ignoring classical math sentences. Then: 500 Divided by half plus 50…. Half of 500 is 250. Wouldn’t that be 500/250=2 + 50 = 52
@IanCarrollShow@paramounttactcl Some of these aren’t actual fuck ups either. Seems like the people that it personally bothers haven’t lived around or long enough around “foreign” speakers. Small world small minds.
@LORRIEAVE @IanCarrollShow@paramounttactcl And her family is Jamaican. Grew up with her grandparents so I’m sure that’s a subtle influence on some parts of some words
@int3rrupt3d@IanCarrollShow@paramounttactcl It’s not that simple. If you hear something long enough, even if you know there’s another way to say it or that it’s incorrect, it eventually burrows into your subconscious and you can easily find yourself speaking that way. It’s frustrating and takes a long time to undo
