"Growing up, typos and grammatical errors were a negative signal. Funnily enough, that’s completely flipped for me."

For me too and for writing it has the upside that it's sooo relaxing to just type away and not worry about the small errors much anymore.



Autocorrect is going to make me sound like a dumbass anyway.


It always did.

And there was no such word as "funnily" till the language got dumbed down to the lowest common denominator. Now we have to argue with the same dolts who use the word and will tell us about how it's now in the dictionary. Now it is to satisfy someone somewhere but no one who really knew better.


For that matter, till does not have the same meaning as until.


Wait until you find out where the rest of our words came from.
