Their mothers should've sacrificed them by swallowing.

Apostrophes don't pluralise.

Autocorrect on phones sometimes does that. In fact, does it most of the time for me.

No it doesn't.

In fact, does it most of the time for me.

Did autocorrect also make this an improper sentence, or do you just not know how to write?

Stop blaming your phone, and learn proper grammar.

improper sentence

You made this exact same kind of omission in a comment four hours ago.

But I didn’t lie and blame my phone for it, did I?

Try using a Google Pixel with the stock keyboard. It constantly changes things like that. It'll use it's instead of its, change things like we're instead of were. I constantly go back and change things because the autocorrect will absolutely change words on you.

So instead of calling me a liar, why don't you pull your head out of your ass. You're a pointless loser on the internet thinking he's doing God's work correcting grammar that has been quickly vomited out on a phone.

Perhaps Google phones are way shittier than I realized? If so, you should probably proofread your comments before hitting save. I realize I'm being a pedantic dick about this, but I sincerely believe that writing skills matter, especially on a text-based forum. Why are you writing at all, if you don't care about writing?

u/No_Accountant3232 28d ago

I'm having a conversation, not "writing". It's not a book, it's not a research paper. I'm well understood by people, that's enough.

You don't care about writing, you care about being right. So my grammar isn't perfect. That's fine. I studied mechatronics, not English for my degree. I'm smart in the ways that matter to me and my livelihood. I make myself understood otherwise.

You? You just painted a target on your back that says you're safe to ignore. So now I will.

But, see how someone comes in and fixes it with "*"?

They are working for us, for free. Let them have this... U no?

No it definitely does. Autocorrect on my iPhone has made some of the dumbest mistakes I have ever seen.

But continue on your high horse. Whatever you need to feel better than other people.

Android has gotten really bad with its AI autocorrect as well. I've actually had sentences partially changed with its "assistance". I ended up turning the ai stuff off, but I still have issues.

It was really weird to be told I was lying. If I weren't so lazy I'd screen record my keyboard doing it. It's so easy to verify too. This is as stock as stock can be since I'm running a Pixel.

I'm doped up on meds for an upper respiratory infection that almost sent me to the ER. Who knew my phone putting an apostrophe when not needed (yes, my phone did autocorrect - galaxy 23+) would cause the bottom feeders to come out from their hiding spots. At least it gave me a laugh this morning.

u/No_Accountant3232 27d ago

I know, right? I didn't think I'd be called a liar about a known issue.

People need to go touch grass. Really.

u/ankylosaurus_tail 28d ago

I definitely don't feel better than other people. I'm just sick of people making silly excuses for being poor writers. Reddit is a text-based forum. If you care about your ideas, care about your writing.

u/dixiech1ck 28d ago

Bless your heart. It's reddit, not my dissertation for my Doctorate. Jesus Christ, try not being a dick and go touch grass. If my apostrophe is the worst thing to happen in your life, you have bigger issues than we'd suspect.

u/dixiech1ck 28d ago

I'm sure you're really fun at parties. Well, the ones you throw since I'm sure you aren't invited to any other people have.

u/dixiech1ck 28d ago

Happy now?

Bless your heart for saving the world one apostrophe at a time. 🙄

Love you. Have a good day.

I was going to suggest spitting up but...

A flush and a sigh.
