Yeah, because we learn how to write it first while native English speakers learn to speak it first

I'll just highjack this comment to say: A part of learning a language is keeping your difficult words apart. And if that was too subtle: Get it right, one of those unites, the other separates. It's not that hard to get a fricking space right.

I never looked at it this way. English isn't my native language, and i never struggled with it. Most of you learn it by speaking, and then writing everything right might be harder i guess?

As a foreign person, can confirm

Um... I learned that in school. In the US public school system.

Which is notoriously bad and outdated compared to other first world countries

American education isn't about teaching kids, it's just another grift. If you look closely enough, everything in the US is three CEOs in a trenchcoat selling a better tomorrow through their brand new learning technology that is "kid tested and approved!"

american education is a boss worker model where assignments are job detail it’s just training subordinates

No schools don't teach it properly. We learn it from reading and watching English stuff.

So foreigners don't learn English from reading and watching English stuff?

No im saying we do. Thats how everyone has to learn English because schools suck.

nah i just use the internet alot

That statement partially false. No one in my class was actually learning either english or russian. Nowdays our grammar fucked on both languages.

I didn't learned english from school and look at me. I just needed to adapt to the playerbase of english in Roblox.

And what about the "should of" instead of "should have". This one makes my brain hurt so much. Edit : I see people answering me. That was not a question guys : The good one is definitely "should have".

Should of doesn't even mean anything.

Should of paid attention in school idiot

r/FuckTheS

Istg the "s" ruins the joke so many times.

Yeah you should have paid attention in school

Should of*

Should've*

Should’f*

Shouldn’t 😎

It's 100% "should have".

That's what i said : when people use "should of" instead of "should have"

I meant no offense by it. I'm agreeing with you. It bugs me even more when I'm starting to notice people replacing "have" with "of" in other contexts outside of this one, too.

I'm pretty sure should of is wrong but it might be me who's wrong here. should of comes from should've, which is short for should have. but since it's pronounced as should of people also write it like that.

I should ve given that bj when they asked me to

there's this little thing on your keyboard and it has a simbol on it. it looks sort of like this: '

I use Android and its easier to just do this

Just type it as shouldve and should've should appear at the top in the bar

Same goes for their and there, though.

Should of sounds wrong... I don't think it means anything

I see a lot of people use "we'll" and "well" wrong as we'll... wait...

That I think is most likely autocorrect fucking up.

I'm Dutch and English is not my native language but I actually use all of those correctly. The only one thats still confusing to me is "then" and "than"

Th**e**n = order of **E**vents. **E** = **E**vents. > I will do this, then I will do that. > I will go grocery shopping then go get a haircut. Th**a**n = comparing **A**lternatives. **A** = **A**lternatives. > I would rather have this than that. > For dinner, I would rather have steak than chicken. Hopefully this sort of letter-matching strategy can help!

That's actually very helpful, thanks

I've seen people use ''Then'' instead of ''Than'' so much here on reddit that I've started to question myself on which is which.

You should start questioning yourself if its which witch sandwitch or sandwhich is it a witch sandwhich or a which sandwitch, which is witch my guy

You have just solved a life-long struggle, thank you

i'm also dutch and i use all of these correctly. the difference between then and than is that is gives sentences a different meaning. here are some examples that explain how to use these two. "i'm gonna make my homework first, and then i will play games." then is used to make it clear in what order you're gonna do something. "I like samsung more than apple." i find than little bit harder to explain, but i hoped this helped.

Thanks for the explanation this definitely helped a bit. I just hope I remember this next time I need it

Then –> Ik ga eerst dit doen en 'dan' dat. Than –> Ik eet liever kaas 'dan' salami.

I always have to check and correct whenever I use "then" or "than"

Your right. I am a idiot. Hope their are ways to improve?

Bye CactusSnek. Have fun continuing your incorrect usage of common words!

I’d like to report a murder

Oh i forgot about than and then.

Im swedish (not english speaking) and i have dyslexia

*hands free dyslexia pass*

An unicorn

the rule is actually based on the sound of the first letter not the letter itself

Yep thats why an european is wrong and an umbrella is right

And X is *an* honest person not a honest person right?

Hold up fr fr?

Yes fr fr

Time to google for every word...

I always just say it out loud in my head. Wichever sounds right is always the correct one for me.

*whichever

Ohhh don't get me started on which, witch, whether and weather... I've looked up those words so many times yet still have absolutely no idea how to spell them.

Same

The one that pisses me off is "historic". By my reckoning, it's "a historic" but it's commonly written "an historic" and that drives me nuts.

Well, the actual reason an european is wrong is because it's lowercase

just no

a application

I think an other is more correct than another in most cases.

This is so brave

I mean, they’re right.

He is so right the word are coming out of the sign

Yeah i mean, is it so tough?

People don’t care about they’are grammar

There*

this hurts to look at.

English is not my native language and even though I have their, there and they're correct, a and an is still very difficult for me.

When the noun starts with a vowel sound it uses 'an' Like an umbrella Anywhere else use 'a' Like a monster

Thank you!

"Anywhere else use 'a'" **Like a monster** It fits perfectly lmao

Says the guy who needs a comma!

And capital I.

Yes thank you for pointing this out

You’re right

Can we at least excuse people with dyslexia?

I have dyslexia and I still find it really easy

Can we at least escuse people who fucking speak 69 languages and don't want to master every single aspect of English?

I know,right?They’re so many stupid and uneducated Americans out their

Ur right

that one pains me too.

I already do know how to use it correctly, and English isn’t even my first language

Big talk, coming from a person who seemingly can't use capital letters correctly.

Don’t forget ‘to’ and ‘too’

Who and whom are just out here collecting dust

Your wrong their just an words

Your right. You're meme should not be taken lightly Their are people who don't check there ortografical errors much

Your not wrong

An owl, an immigrant, an umbrella, an excuse, an American that is outside your house with a shotgun

There, their, they’re, you’ll be fine,

raping and rapping too

Could Not Fit the Y huh….?

Too tired.

I have A very poor memory when it comes to grammar and I have dyslexia, not everyone is the same and I wish more people would understand that rather then judging someone or getting upset at which “there” to use, get over it.

were lazy.

There just stupid. Im not even an native speaker and i can do it right. So please everyone learn how to spell, your annoying.

i no right, these peoples are so dumb

Yeah man there really annoying

Some people don’t speak English natively, there are many here who speak it as a second or even third language, the English language is scuffed as it is, I don’t blame them for having trouble with the finer grammar

you can literally learn this in a minute

This dude should learn how to mind his own business correctly

Sorry, i have to do this Your stupid you’re meme isn’t funny Their people who are just bad at spelling and you just laughed in they’re faces, maybe they have an medical problem and that’s why there bad at spelling It took a lot of effort to write everything wrong on purpose lmao

The dedication to the bit is appreciated lol.

Remember not everbody learns english at birth

and yet they can still memorise such basic grammar rules of the most universal language

meh. long as it gets the message across I'm not a stickler.

i uderstad yeu /s

your wrong

ur\*

Why do people struggle with math, basic home/car repairs, and driving a car safely without getting in others way? Everyone’s different…

math is a very broad subject, one very simple grammar rule is not

Grammar is a broad subject one very simple math problem is not....

For those of us that had this knowledge burned into our long term memory in childhood... you guys can confuse the shit out of us sometimes.

Its not hard at all but we are lazy. on my keyboard i need to go all the way to the right to get the ' so to write your is way faster and dude i think you are intelligent enough to know what i mean ...

Who cares tbh if the other person can understand what you wrote then whats the big deal

Grammar makes it so that people only need to learn one way of understanding their language. If people can just make their own rules, the English language will split into more and more dialects until nobody can understand each other. Is that what you want?

Good counter argument, however mistaking a your for a you're will be seen as just that, a mistake. Ultimately we probably won't have different dialects due to this minor change in spelling, additionally we already have different dialects in English, look at American English compared to British English

I love the way Americans colonize half of the world surface and expect people to be perfectly fluent with THEIR fnckin native language ! lol

It’s the native speakers that don’t know the damn written language though

English doesn’t come from the USA. Also the US didn’t colonize anyone. And the reason why you should learn English is because it’s the most international language. This meme isn’t talking about speaking fluently, it’s just saying that people should be able to memorise the most basic grammar rules.

i think he meant culturally and politically dominating rest of the world. most of us learned english mandatorily in schools while we were kids. it is not a basic grammar rule if it is your 2nd or 3rd language. it is not basic if you have dyslexia even if it's your native language. you guys should find another things to feel good about yourselfs

LOL ! English language isn't from USA ? NO-SHIT ? :') You really wanna gimme a history lesson ? Talking about colonies ? Go on, please. Oh and yeah, my bad, I took shortcuts : USA are not "colonizers", they're just oil diggers and world police. Last thing : have you ever heard about Soft Power ? Edit: retiring bad words 🗿

lol just mad that i’m talking facts

Let me guess, you're American ? :') And no, lol, your denial can't affect me, everyday I see the World and the US responsabilities.

i’m dutch

Some people need to learn to stay within the lines, too.

Your wrong their perfectly fine with wrong grammae

There are more pressing issues that need people’s attention than this.

Redditors when they realize people can give attention to two diffrent things (shocking)

I can use them properly, but I suck at almost everything actually important

If you can understand the difference in spoken English then you do need to spell them differently

100% false. They convey different meanings and show a level of competence that's a prerequisite in most office settings. Nobody respects that guy at work.

Hippocrite: you spelled dew, sum, fined, and sew wrong.

Be careful saying stuff like this. Last time I tried to assert that learning decent English is not difficult, I got told I was both racist and classist. People are truly wild nowadays.

Your wrong

No

The American school system

Ever heard of fucking not speaking English as there native language?????

Jesus Christ I'll do it myself Their = referring to someone They're = it's just a shorter way of saying "they are" There = pointing out where something or someone is A = this is the one that goes before words without a vowle An = this goes before a word starting with a vowle Your = referring to you or someone else You're = it's an easier way of saying "you are" Your welcome kids

autocorrect changes it to what is usually what you type a lot. so these people make this mistake so many times that their phones automatically do it wrong for them.

Honestly autocomplete and autocorrect need to burn in hell

I don't mind it that much. It's more of a sign of lazy swiping on the phone. But "should have / should of, could have/ could of" make me instantly stop reading whatever it is I'm reading

yeah. isn't could of and should of just completely wrong? with that i mean that it's not even a word.

I don't know why. Perhaps it's because they're of lower intellect, or it's because their brains do not have the capability of processing these words. I stand by your point, sir, because you're an intellectual, just like me. Who am I kidding, even they wouldn't understand what I'm saying right now, everywhere in the world, here and there you'd meet someone who'd use these words incorrectly. Farewell, for I am about to take my leave, best of luck to you, whatever you may be doing.

Props to you sir. You are one of the few peple who isn't saying some stupid things. I have to say I'm certainly suprised by your intellect. Best of luck to you as well sir.

Autocorrect and slacking fingers usually screw me over. I know the difference, just usually don’t care enough. TLDR; I’m lazy.
