I’m tired of seeing that argument to validate incorrect usage of words that already exist. Words mean things. People using a language incorrectly don’t get to just decide that the words they’re using mean something else now because that’s how they meant it. That’s not “growing and evolving”, it’s just using the language incorrectly and being too stubborn to admit a fault in themself and instead try to change the language to fit their lack of education about the language and its usage.

The words “could”, “should”, or “would” followed by the word “of” is completely nonsensical and meaningless. It is a misunderstanding/misinterpretation of “could’ve”, “would’ve”, or “should’ve” being heard audibly because they sound similar. “Apart” literally means the opposite of “a part”, and, again, comes from a misunderstanding from hearing the word spoken rather than seeing it written down because it sounds the same.

A perfect example of language evolving is the word “another”. It literally is the words “an” and “other” pushed together to form a single word and has the exact same meaning as that. Another example is the word “bosun”. It literally means “boatswain”, and comes from the word being shortened down in spoken communication, but is a completely made up word and has no prior meaning.

Do not confuse incorrect usage of the language as growth and change.

I’m sorry for coming off as an ass, I literally did not sleep last night and I’m very tired.

That and the unfortunate increasing failure of the education system.

I would be pretty happy about getting my nails done too

Or “How it feels”

I feel like there’s been a gradual increase in people saying things like this (“would of” instead of “would’ve”, “apart” instead of “a part”, etc)

All good! “Fell” is the past tense of “fall”. Aternatively in some cases you could say “did fall”, though in modern English that’s usually used as an affirmative to a question about the fallen status of the chocolate (e.g. [which is short for the Latin “exemplia gratia” , meaning “for example”], Question: “Did the chocolate fall?” Answer: “Yes, the chocolate did fall” or “Yes, it did fall”).

There are actually other (irrelevant) meanings of the word “fell”; as an adjective in “a fell beast” for example, “fell” means “fierce, cruel, terrible, or dreadful”; or as a verb meaning “to knock, strike, shoot, or cut down; cause to fall” for example " to fell a moose" or “to fell a tree.”

Imo Sekiro is harder. Eden Ring, while quite difficult at times, feels much more forgiving to me. Really I think there are only a handful of bosses in ER that really fucked me up.

Oh, I thought you said “romo”

It’s a whale egg

I saw that too, I thought it was a mannequin lol

I feel like the free PS+ games have really gone down in quality for a while now.

You have perfectctly described what I have been trying to grasp for years. I’ve found myself liking less and less so many movies from the last ~20 years, but I just couldn’t put my finger on what specifically the reason was. I knew I didn’t like the writing, and especially didn’t like the humor (in particular how forced it felt), but I couldn’t determine quite why.

What I did know is that it felt like writers saw their audiences as big dumb idiots who can’t detect any nuance in writing, and need everything spelled out for them. It made many movies unwatchably unenjoyable, to the point that I have only seen… I think 5 of the MCU movies (a few of the early ones, a fee of the more recent ones).

Thank you for helping me to understand.

I saw it as more of a statement on how producers/writers/whoever perceive their audiences. They think that just seeing Batman beat the shit out of a guy isn’t exciting/engaging enough, but having him then say something “relatable” will evoke a positive response.

Halls of Torment

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!

Who is Johnny? Is there a video or such that he’s from?

I want my meme communities back, but I don’t want to create them, I don’t have that kind of commitment lol

Honestly though that’s the exact kind of thing I would want to know- the real you, not the you that tell me you are.

Do you feel like you’re a worse person for learning about porn at such a young age? I also learned about porn around that age (2nd~4th grade) and I feel like it had no impact on my life whatsoever as an adult.

The funny part of the post is referring to “teaching crabs how to read” as “forbidden knowledge”
