I understand some mispellings of words but these are the most frustrating
Too/To
Lose/Loose
Woman/Women
I see y’all want to speak well for the white man
I definitely agree. I just always like to make it a point to point out that communication is about conveying a thought at the end of the day. I don’t believe all that proper English is natural. I think slang and improper language mixed in with whatever is supposed to be proper is how people speak more naturally. It’s like mothafukkas always trying to refine us, but we don’t make the rules on what refinement is…they do.

Blessing in the sky.
Nah definitely I agree 100%. I type slang on here and on IG all the time but when it comes to sending out some professional shyt, gotta know how to play the game.
-Effect and affect stay having people in a chokehold
-Idk when people started putting the dollar sign behind the number but it looks so stupid. It's $50 not 50$
-Shortening already short words. Cool to coo.
-Saying females instead of women is an automatic red flag. Those same people will say men in the same sentence as females, make it make sense. Never in my life have I ever felt the need to call a grown man a male. For me it would be disrespectful to look past a man as just a male and not a fully functioning human being
-Long run on sentences. Who wants to read a wall of text
Misuse? If they even use them. I see it all the time in thread titles on here and in general on sm. Mariah Carey sister talks about their childhood. I stay wanting to be an a$$hole and ask who is Mariah Carey sister? Did you mean Mariah Carey’s sister?

“I’m Sorry for 2025”
People confusing ironic with coincidence.
“Hey, I was just bumping. 50 Cent.”
“Oh that’s ironic, I was just playing his last album.”
No you dumbass, that’s a coincidence. There’s nothing ironic about doing something similar to someone. Irony is when the opposite of what you intended happens.
I.E., you buy a guard dog to protect yourself but it ends up eating and killing you. The irony is that you would’ve been safer without it when you thought it would make you safe.
“You heard about Jermaine. He bought a guard dog to protect him from those sketchy nikkas. That pitbull ended up biting off his balls.”
“damn, that’s like rain on your wedding day.”
“nikka what?”
“Err, nothing Breh.”
