      No, but I really don’t care, and I don’t really get people who do. Like your brain read it and understood it very easily, it’s not like I’m misspelling something where your brain has to put in extra work to figure out what dreme means or something. At least for me my brain just reads it “out loud” in my head where there, they’re and their have no differences.

      Legit question why do you care? Does it make it more difficult to read or understand?

        People who learned English as a second language may find it hard, especially if they predominately did so from written sources.

        Legit answer: yes, it does make it more difficult to read, because it immediately derails my thought process as I get distracted by the lazy writing I’m presented with.

          1. Not everyone without a formal education is a trumpist, and looking down on them like that is classist and part of the reason we lost the election
          2. Using the right there is not a sign of a good education, good critical thinking skills, reasoning, eloquence and rhetorical skills do. Especially by college professors give less of a shit of whether you use the right your then if your argument is strong, well backed and makes sense.

          The only thing using the wrong there shows is that you’re not an AI.
