I am a bot. (Info / Contact)

ily bot (17 points)

notice no one suggests Reddit/internet lingo is wrong and shouldn't be used

acronyms are intentional, nobody says "could of" on purpose tbqh

Are you a big fucking faggot on purpose, or is it like Tourette’s?

yes

Because bussy

no

Can it be a language if it consists entirely of cliches and Rick and Morty quotes 🤔🤔🤔

*snaps* Yes!

burp belch xD

Shaka, when the Szechuan sauce ran out.

and generally grammar correction is just low-key classism.

/u/faithhandler stay woke

I feel super fucking classy right about now.

Who fucking cares what could of been the right answer, it's a none issue

Everytime somebody gets offended about a grammar Nazi they always break out the "well if enough people are wrong eventually it becomes right" argument and I thought that was a pretty arrogant way of avoiding admission of ignorance. But now we've gone next level dumb because now being wrong is actually classist.

and racist according to u/faithhandler

I mean that's literally how language works. Enough people are "wrong" about something until it becomes right.

WAIT SHIT IM SERIOUS POSTING. FUCK.

It's hilarious to me that the best example of this is the fucking morons who insist literally isn't being used correctly when it's an intensifier ("I'm literally going to kill myself today was so bad OMG you guys!!!"), despite being used that way consistently for over three hundred years.

These idiots are complaining that uneducated people are using words wrong and changing definitions, when they're actually complaining about themselves.

I in no way was trying to call out the guy I replied to, to be clear. I didn't even notice he used the word literally until I read your post, I just see this shit constantly and it sticks in my craw.

No that's not how it works, be quiet descriptivist scum. Stop trying to push your ideology as linguistic fact.

u/could-of-bot, you could of been nicer.

It's either could HAVE or could'VE, but never could OF.

See Grammar Errors for more information.

Good bot.

Can anyone ELI5: Is this genuinely a bot, or is it actually a person with no life

Bot

It could of been a human.

It's either could HAVE or could'VE, but never could OF.

See Grammar Errors for more information.

COULD OF

suck my dick you classist scum

Jesus, the ignorance of elementary-level grammar rules in that thread fucking burns. Especially the guy who thinks "I could of my own volition" is correct.

Go sit in on a third-grade English class and stop being so fucking inept, god damn. If English is your native language you have no excuse for that level of stupidity.

/yeah I'm mad, etc. etc.

I could of cared less about what you think is elementary grammar. There is nothing wrong with your quote.

It's either could HAVE or could'VE, but never could OF.

See Grammar Errors for more information.

Could of be a better coice of word than from when discussing somebodys country of origin?

good bot

That thread gave me -5 to faith in humanity.

I don't care about all the classism shit or whatever it is, but grammar corrections are rarely about helping the user who made the mistake and instead a way for the grammar nazi to jerk themselves off over being an autist and treating the internet like it's a college essay. Nobody needs that spammy "look at how smart I am" bullshit.

That's why we need a bot to do it. They're the only ones we can trust to do it for the right reasons.

I'll die on this hill

Then fucking hurry up and do it /u/Faithhandler.

could of made a better bot but you wasted your time correcting grammar on the garbage fire that is reddit

It's either could HAVE or could'VE, but never could OF.

See Grammar Errors for more information.

could of tried to add to the discussion first

It's either could HAVE or could'VE, but never could OF.

See Grammar Errors for more information.

could of wished you had something relevant to add

It's either could HAVE or could'VE, but never could OF.

See Grammar Errors for more information.

could of moved beyond a 7th grade english teacher

It's either could HAVE or could'VE, but never could OF.

See Grammar Errors for more information.

could've

could've could've done could've if could've could've

What the hell happened here?

Who know? Since its been deleted, it could of been anything.

It's either could HAVE or could'VE, but never could OF.

See Grammar Errors for more information.

could of

could've could've if could've then could've

could've seen a bird fly

Not a native speaker, anyone saying could of should be gassed.

absolutely

thank you for your service

Not a native speaker, but anyone saying could of should be gassed.

Ftfw u fuckin 2-nd grade writing level sob

you*

And there it is, a perfectly gramatically correct usage of "could of".

It wasn't correct though. There should be quotes around "could of"

Fair enough. My other comment has one though.

I'll die on this hill. Being a grammar Nazi is classist and racist, even if you personally don't want to actually acknowledge it.

with this mentality, I hope you do die

I wonder if he also pulls this shit on his prof:

You are racist, classist bigot for correcting my grammar error in my final exam! Language is ever changing! You... you... bigot!

please just let me pass

I am guessing u/faithhandler failed every English class he ever took. Poor kid.

I guess paying attention in elementary is only possible if your family is rich.

That sub is full of dumb people from tumblr who get upset about pointless things and get into the stupidest arguments. Not really surprised.

Speaking of could of, goddamn I wish these vidya game weaboos could off themselves

Useless bot. If someone is understandable then their grammar is irrelevant, and generally grammar correction is just low-key classism.

This just sounds like the kind of dumb shit that poor people say when you point out that they're stupid.

Nah, it sounds like a bougie white-knight tbh.

Por que no los dos, right /u/faithhandler?

u/Faithhandler could of not looked like a bigger piece of shit in that tirade if he tried

/u/faithhandler

thought: calling grammar corrections racist or classist means you thinks people of color or poor people can't grasp middle school grammar properly

rebuttal?
