I like that you like sharing memes, because I’ve come across them enough to think you are a community unto yourself.
I like sorting by new to report garbage and interact with things that would otherwise die, also to help Lemmy grow! It’s lonely in new but… i get to report a lot of weird stuff… so there’s that 🫠
I’ve noticed that grammar error a lot on the Internet. Bias is discussed frequently as a topic of popular rage-bait posts.
FYI for those people: “bias” is a noun that is the thing, and “biased” is an adjective that describes a person who has the bias. “The biased person showed their bias” for example.
We’re clearly not going to agree here. Plenty of people would rather be made aware of their mistakes and that’s no less valid than your point of view. Personally I would rather avoid potential misunderstandings than deal with them after the fact. I’m not the only one who feels that way.
Interesting choice given the way that’s been shifting slowly back to the more accurate form in the past however many years.
If colloquial usage did trump all, irregardless would’ve been acknowledged as a correct word well before I was born. It may be the driving force but it’s hardly the only, or even constantly deciding, factor
For people over a certain age I always assume they’re using text to speech and don’t worry about going back and correcting it. My wife is somehow always talking to someone else in the room while she dictates to her watch, so I have a lot of fun interpreting her texts.
Yeah, what’s the deal with that. Yes, the two sound similar, but saying “I’m bias” is like saying “I’m anger” instead of “I’m angry” or “I’m sadness” instead of “I’m sad”.
Little bothered that Tim Russ said “bias” instead of “biased”
I’m not mad I’m just disappointment.
I’m not mad just disappoint
Son. I am dissapoint.
I’m not anger. I’m disappointment.
So I am confusion https://youtube.com/shorts/U7X7cEh5au8?si=hSmKh4IpfDwQqLkE
I hope somebody replied with “hi bias, I’m dad”
No, you see he is the literal human embodiment of the concept of bias and was letting us know. The other tweets are unrelated
It’s true, that’s why his role as Tuvok was so impressive. The exact opposite of type casting
This is a pet peeve of mine
I’m a little bias short and stout, here is my handle here is my spout
A peeve of mine is the term “pet peeve”. 😅
If something bothers you so, why the fuck would you keep, nurture, and tend to it as a pet?
I propose it change to haunting peeve, because you don’t want it, can’t get rid of it, and it exists regardless if you think about it or not.
😁 (I’m not super serious about this, but “pet peeve” really does low-key bother me)
I can support this
Omg you are an actual person. Every time I see your username under a post I, for whatever reason, think it’s the community name.
I’ve seen a lot of your posts I think 😅 thanks for what you do! 🫡
(No it didn’t register that I replied to you until I went back to look… I don’t really -see- usernames)
I am, and thanks! Beep boop, I like sharing memes. Just doing my part to help Lemmy grow.

Thank you for your service, soldier. That’s the kind of stuff Lemmy needs!
it’s actually short for petite peeve, because it’s something small and unimportant. Or maybe it’s not, but you don’t know.
It’s partly a joke (your favourite peeve, for example) and probably a reference to the other, now archaic, meaning of pet:
I think you can accept idioms as they are or you’ll be endlessly feeling like one saying or another has got your goat
You must have missed the part that says I’m not really serious.
They separated Tuvix on the bias and Tim got more of him.

It’s definitely one of the more common ones. I see that alot
Autocorrect ducks for us all.
If you understand someone well enough to correct them, you didn’t have to.
Just because you understand someone well enough to correct them doesn’t mean everyone else will
Just because you understand them well enough today doesn’t mean you will tomorrow
We should all be striving to be better than we are, not breeding resentment from contentment
Then they should ask for clarification.
At which point you can ask for clarification.
And part of “better” is having the perspective and desire to avoid pedantry where it’s not needed.

I hate this extragrammatical idiom so much.
But given that colloquial usage trumps all else when it comes to driving the evolution of language, most people could care less.

It’s like the “would of” people. They don’t hear it in speech so they type it how it sounds to them.
Or it’s autocorrect
only because it makes him look like he learned to read on tumblr
Or X(Twitter) or Reddit or Facebook or…
Tumblr is an offender but let’s not pretend it’s the only one
don’t fucking get sensitive
Seems like it’s a bit of a sensitive spot for you…
stupidity absolutely is, every time i encounter it
So like on Twitter and Reddit and Tumblr and Facebook and…
take your hokey religion someplace else, son this street corner is taken
