      Some people actually use social media to learn or practice another language, so some may appreciate the tip and the correction.

      As well, it just looks better when content is written properly. If the questions here were all stuff like “how is babby formed wen women is pragnant”, it wouldn’t seem like the kind of community made for people who are genuinely trying to find answers to their questions.

      Pretty sure English class is for daily life, so we don’t revert to grunting cave people. This sentiment is what fuels poor Grammer, and it doesn’t really take too much brain power to write/say things correctly

      My family and I did not know any english when we came here as refugees. I learned english from watching television, lots of television. I appreciate people maintaining a modern linguistic standard so we don’t revert back to shakespearean or god forbid Canadian. (I am Canadian, I’m sorry)
