There’s already been a vetting process to weed out some resolutions, but this one made it through, which suggests “someone in the party thinks that this is worth debating,” Young said.

“I think this reminds us that the base of the UCP is host to a pretty substantial group of people who do not believe that climate change is real, or they don’t believe that it is driven by human activity, and they think that any actions taken to transition away from fossil fuels are unnecessary.”

    You are placing your annoyance at other peoples’ grammar above the desire to actually communicate with them, which means you’re just here to masturbate in public.

    You get that, right?

      If that person had said anything interesting, maybe it’d be different. But another “those people don’t believe what I believe and so are evil/stupid” comment, well it’s pretty childish and dull. And rife with poor grammar!

          Ahaha, that’s a great sentence and a brutal curse! I legit wonder if that would be the end of social media for me.

          Or the difficulty in some sort of extension to autocorrect said media on one’s browser?

            In all seriousness though, you appear to have hyperlexia, I do too and I shared your frustration for many years until I understood that fact and, as a result, sympathized a bit more with those who don’t.

            I can find double spaces anywhere in text, I know a word or sentence looks “wrong” just by looking at it without necessarily being able to explain the grammar rule behind it, and my brain stops reading at misspelled words as it can’t comprehend them, it can be frustrating at times. It’s usually comorbid with neuro-divergence.

            You should probably be nicer to those who aren’t blessed with it, the poster above might even be dyslexic and have great difficulty with reading and writing as a result. If that’s the case, we should celebrate the fact that most of the words are correct! 🎉

              Possibly! Though really I think it more comes from my general dismay at the dumbing down of culture in general. Every day feels closer to idiocracy and missing you/you’re seems like a symptom.

              But maybe I’ll try thinking of the internet as a sea of dyslexics, just in case…

                Take solace in knowing that literacy rates are the highest they’ve ever been in history, the fact that most words are correct is an incredible feat.

                Most people think how they speak rather than how they write, which means homophones are quite difficult for the average person, and near impossible without thinking about it hard and remembering the rule every time if you’re dyslexic.

                  Global literacy, probably. But I think functional reading/literacy has been falling behind in most Western democracies, especially America.

                    And that’s not the fault of individuals, but of a failing education system.

                    Blaming individuals for what is a systemic failure could make them less receptive to change.
