      Looking at your comment history, I think you need to understand that:

      • this is not a formal platform and so there is no expectation to adhere to any language rules when commenting
      • there are other spelling variants for the words you’re familiar with
      • prescriptivism in language is unproductive, especially when you toss an insult into a subset of your comments

      There’s more to the English language than just knowing how to spell.

        Bro is correcting posts that say “flex” to “brag”, even where “brag” clearly would not substitute into the sentence. “Based” into “acided” when the origin for that use of “based” has nothing to do with acid, and also “acided” isn’t a word.

        They don’t care about English and don’t understand these terms they’re correcting. They’re just advertising how zoomer slang triggers them.
