I can only imagine they’re downvoting because they’ve had a better education than me, or paid more attention in class, or read the Wikipedia entry ten minutes before me.
I majored in English at university and still had to double check Wikipedia to make sure I wasn’t talking out of my ass. There are so many grammatical rules that I only have a tiny understanding of.
Exactly! I mean, some people (looking at you downvoters) learnt that during their education. But I (we?) didn’t, and this has been a really interesting find for me.
I genuinely love learning about linguistic weirdness, I just don’t know a lot about it. Or have many occasions to learn.
Dunno why anyone would downvote you for this.
“Hey, this guy is trying to learn something that he wasn’t taught before! What an asshole!”
