Why did they use a pipe instead of the letter I?
| Don't like it.
|’m glad |’m not the only one annoyed by that.
Because you would start talking about it
Yeah one of the fist ways I learned to create engagement was to fake typos / make simple grammer mistakes.
Well done
Thanks.. I... I love you <3
*mistokies
It really helps with engagement, and | fell for it.
I didn't realize that was supposed to be an I, | thought it was being used like asterisks to indicate action.
that's what I think it's supposed to be, but then the middle one is missing the | so who knows
It's not meant to be an I, it's meant to be an action. They're not writing "I commanded an army", they're writing "commanded an army".
No, it was not a good choice. But that's what they were probably doing.
Then it would've been "against her brother" though, not "against my brother"
The historians had to lay that pipe somewhere
Honestly, my brain just didn't even process it as an I. I just looked over it and started the sentences without them.
Anyway, why the fuck did they do that?
