every fucking day i see people complaining about how people get these words wrong. take the fucking high road and keep quiet

Languages evolve over time. Try reading fucking old English texts. It's practically foreign...unfortunately this shit is more of a mutation.

Fleek doesn't have three different contexts and spellings?
Rhoam
Stop being a grammmar nazi and have some fun. Make your self on fleek, grab your bae and get turnt for once.
HookerinaHandbasket
Because turnt fleek and bae all sound very different from one another while their there and they're are all pronounced the exact same

Because stupid people make up words for shit they don't understand instead of educating themselves.

There, they're, their... it'll be okay.

Or about using quotation marks for emphasis?!
SuicideByAccountant
because some of those don't sound like anything else, and the rest sound exactly the same.

Because homophones and slang are two entirely different things, and even the people who you're trying so desperately to shit on know that?

That's not the same...
DentAurthurDent
As a linguist, it is exactly the same.
DarwinsFlinch
And a cunning linguist at that.
DentAurthurDent
Indeed!
UnfortunatelyImTheHighKingOfSkyrim
Then as a linguist you're wrong. There's a huge difference between being familiar with spoken slang terms and knowing exactly how to 1/2

spell various homonyms based purely on context. 2/2
DentAurthurDent
Slang context is every bit as tricky as choosing the correct homonym or conjugating "to be." If you can master one, you can get the others.
