I DUNNO i just! it kinda rubs me the wrong way when ppl on the internet point out spelling/grammar mistakes as like a sick burn or whatever not only cause of stuff like ppl with language disabilities but also like. idk it seems sort of fucked up that not knowing perfect english is equated to being stupid, as if most people dont have a different native language. like idk a native english speaker being like “LMAO you dont even know perfect english??? what are you, an IDIOT??? an IDIOT who knows multiple languages and clearly constructed their sentence well enough for me to understand what they meant therefore making pointing it out useless for any and all reasons except me feeling superior in that im better at my native language than you are your second? LOL go back to MIDDLE school, person who speaks more languages than me” like do you see what i mean. people act as if english is the Ultimate Language (gee wonder why /s) and all other languages are like, second rate or some shit and anyone who doesnt speak it perfectly is an idiot. obviously it all goes back to colonialism and shit but the fact that people (including myself for a really long time) fail to even realize that worries me a bit. this post got longer than i intended but like whatever i think making fun of people with improper grammar or w/e holds very blatant ties to ableism and racism and we should stop doing it. lol
