    *brakes.

    Homophones are elementary school English, which generally lends credibility to any argument.

        Oh please. “Attacking?” Look how you’re framing this. It was a simple correction.

        Let’s not turn Lemmy into Reddit with this type of add-on peanut gallery commentary. It does nothing for anyone except fuel negativity across the site.

      Eh, I think most people would be able to reason through that, but I’m also a terrible speller, so I might be a little biased.

      That might also be why I agree typos can be a useful way to determine if you’re still talking to a human.

      Are you aware that many people learn english as a second or third language?

        What that matter. The proper answer whenever anyone cares enough to help you master something is “thank you”. So maybe get off your high horse and stop cheering mediocrity.

          Hmm… What’s that about mediocrity?

          “Thank you” would have been appropriate if you were intending to be helpful. Instead, you came off as an ignorant asshat, claiming that it devalues their argument.

          So kuddos to you for knowing homophones, but not contractions or punctuation, both of which are also “elementary level english”.
