I'm a science teacher, language is important, this made me cringe... because its is oh so terrifyingly true...

"Would of"... as a non-english speaking person, why do you English persons accept this to become a vernacular usage?

I just spent two hours yesterday teaching 20+ year old on basic grammar so maybe I'll use something like his next.

There are people out there that won't get this. And that's not good.

What the hell is homophones replacing?
LittleE92
If 2 words sound the same but mean something else and the person uses the wrong one. Such as I know him v.s. I no him
Andalite
I know the definition of the word. I meant what word is it replacing? "No" is replacing "know" in your example.

On one hand, it's terrible. On the other, I could understand it. There are a lot of people who both can't spell and form coherent sentences.

Tale and tell are not homophones. Not in any accent I can think of, anyway.

Fairly close in California.

Come to Appalachia. Be awed by our ability to make new homophones. And dont even get me started on the rare Appalachian silent "L"...

Yea, in Idaho they are. We also have many many many "For Sell" signs to marvel over.

You should have heard my grandmother call my stepmom. "Hello, Sayandy? Thiyis is Beyetsy." Southerners and their extra Y inserts, man.

I wish we could stop equating spelling errors with intelligence, I'm guilty of it too, but I try to look past it, some wisdom isn't in books
AcidicVanLividLove
And this is coming from a bibliophile. My new way of looking at it is if a person can understand what you mean or not
NoSleepTilBrooklyn
This teacher is doing an excellent job, IMO. Spelling and grammar are important. Language evolves, but we should still teach the basics.
eabonin
One of my bosses was dreadful with spelling, but he was easily the best manager I have had; he was in his 1st year of it too.
luukzs666luukzs
I have the same problem, but some people really write wrong on purpose and it's just horrible...
CmRock136
R u trying to say sum ppl jus dunno wut there doin wen they is righting becuz they is lazy??
BritishBatman
Those aren't spelling errors. Those are the wrong words.
AcidicVanLividLove
Sure it all comes back to a grammar but I stick by my point, just cause u used the wrong word, incorrect spelling etc doesn't mean ur stupid
AcidicVanLividLove
I guess my main issue is pedants confusing the tree for the forest
BritishBatman
It does, however indicate a certain lack of care or effort.
kerBamf
Your use of punctuation is concerning.
AcidicVanLividLove
Word, I make no excuses but I was on the throne writing this and it all just felt right
