I didn’t want to come off dismissive asking how often you’re talking about those specific kinds of plants but maybe it’s a relevant question after all lol
I think you and I have very different experiences. I rarely see that kind of correction if ever.
When you’re in a public space you never know when your words are being consumed by an ESL speaker. I think the best approach is natural yet accurate. They’re going to encounter contractions when dealing with native speakers, but the difference between it’s and its, for example, can be tricky so try to use them as taught.
Spelling mistakes can absolutely be an issue. It’s already hard enough to figure out English spelling without native speakers making it worse. Add on to that the difficulty in any added language of working out near homophones, let alone actual homophones.
I knew someone who was pretty decent with English as their third language but had trouble keeping Texas and taxes straight. I know another guy who is American and uses no in place of know. That one threw me for a while before I figured out what he was trying to say.
I will admit, I do like that “technically” the plural for octopus is “supposed to be” octopods (pronounced like oc-tip-o-dees) but that’s a fun “fact”, not a correction I’ve ever tried to make.
90+% of the time you get common mistakes. Should ofs, they’re - there - their confusions, apostrophes for plurals.
The kind of thing that confuses ESL speakers. The decent thing would seem to be to try and stick to the way it’s taught rather than go with the “it doesn’t matter” route when it absolutely matters to some.
I’m juggling 3 languages
We Americans like to forget that anyone might have any trouble understanding English especially in cases of polyglots.
I don’t know which is your native tongue but from this comment it looks like you’re doing a fine job.
Except that it would be “they should, of course,”.
Also that person may have known what you meant, but another might not and may have any number of reasons for not asking.
Better communication skills are a worthwhile goal and there’s no good reason to not learn and grow.
Not the 1865 Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland which also has the same credentials but, as you can see, is earlier?
Still not sold on calling all of it Isekai regardless, but at least check your own facts
It never ceases to amaze me that the actor who played an idiot on News Radio, and never really seemed like he was acting, has become what he has.
Given him and Andy Dick both were on there, maybe someone should check in on Dave Foley and Stephen Root.
Sorry, can’t help but make light of this fucker’s bullshit, pardon the French.
It’s no trouble at all, but I don’t know what a seal has to do with any of this or how you spelled phoque so badly
You are technically correct
The best kind of correct
This is inaccurate
Some of us aren’t under 40
I’ve got three monitors and a few other PCs that are all interconnected so I can mouse off one on to another.
I just turn my chair
That sounds a lot like
My rear passenger tire was about 3psi low so I bought a new Grand Cherokee
I don’t disagree. I think if it’s an issue the users have the power to resolve it
Right, which is why I put the line after that in
I don’t get it either. Defederation is a tool just like banning or spam prevention. If it’s unused it’s pointless to have.
But you don’t ban everyone for a single offense just like to don’t defederate lightly. If you do then people will move elsewhere and the problem resolves itself
In all fairness that actress showed up fairly often for playing a dead character
And if a home invader with commercially available arms so decided it’s the end of your family. That’s how scale works.
But you don’t give in to a bully to avoid violence. That’s how you get more people/countries bullied.
This is not intended as a threat of violence. This is an analogy to make a point that should be obvious
Yes but he serves a different community
