Me as a teen;

Him; “hey you.”

Me; “hey.”

“What’s up?”

“Nm wbu?”

“Nm.”

“Sooo.” “What?”

“Idk lol.”

The very deep conversations lmao. They still do this as adults?! 😂😂😭

It DOES feel like emotional labor.!!!!!

I relate to this so much. Always questioning and working on myself and then others are just .... Not.

I used to judge myself for this grammar police and spelling police behavior, but then I realized it's just like any other preference. If it really irks me, then I have the right to not be attracted. It's as shallow or not shallow as going for a specific physical type. Articulate men are just super attractive, especially when their words match their actions 😄

So true, and I extend this to mean/uncaring people in general. Some people just aren't the mental/emotional effort and they will never extend the same compassion to you.

OMGGGGG this is way too relatable.

Saltwich · 2020-08-21T07:35:42+00:00

Not to be THAT bitch, but when you say it's "racist and class-discriminatory" to judge someone for their shitty grammar, you're basically saying that most people of color are inherently incapable of being well-written and high class, and shouldn't be held to the same standards we'd hold the average white person to.

Which is basically white supremacy with a liberal coat of paint.

"I went to a poor school and I'm fine, so indisputable racial implications shouldn't be discussed." -- this discussion thread

Yikes, ladies! We're better than this! The comic is about women's willingness to consider their own bias and the larger cultural ramifications of our choices, so it's HELLA ironic to shoot down the argument without nuanced discussion.

Eat_Pant_b0ss · 2020-08-21T04:47:11+00:00

Acting like only white people can use decent grammar is white supremecy lmao

PrincessBeefloof · 2020-08-20T23:18:34+00:00

Nope!

jeanneeebeanneee · 2020-08-21T14:49:45+00:00

It's not classist or white supremacist to be turned off my someone who can't or won't bother to differentiate between your/you're and there/their/they're. We're allowed to have these standards.

I mean I personally would take this advice with a grain of salt. I know a few people with dyslexia (relatives and multiple close friends) so I try to focus on what they're saying and how they're saying it over text. Not saying this is everyone, but in my opinion it doesn't matter so much lol. (Coming from someone who loves grammar and structure in language so much that she took a college credit about it for fun.)

2020-08-21T02:12:41+00:00

oh my god is this me????

Wow. This was my life.

Jenny_Saint_Quan · 2020-08-22T04:27:39+00:00

I'm not tooooo fixated on this. Telling the difference can be confusing for some. If I know what they are saying then its all good. Plus its just texting, not an mla. BUT I will not engage in a conversation with someone who consistently shorten words and chop up their sentences. And I will definitely cut those off who can't carry a conversation irl. I had a friend who would call me and not even try to hold a conversation. Its always one worded responses. People like that are so weird to me.

Cairenne · 2020-10-12T17:59:42+00:00

🤦‍♀️ Yes. And it doesn't improve either.

He used to play it off as "Not being good at English in school" too.

I know this subreddit may not be the target audience for this comment, but I think that the song Lateralus by Tool is really good. I like the lyric:

"Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind. Withering my intuition..."

Don't doubt and question your thoughts so harshly. Trust your intuition.
