Would have been more accurate with “your a sheep.”

Clearly the preferred lexicon is "ur"

[–] Misconduct@startrek.website 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can't really explain why but using the wrong "your" looks far worse to me than just typing "ur". The "ur" people know what they're about and I kinda respect it tbh. They're not trying to impress anyone

Agree to disagree. But people who use "en" instead of "and" really triggers me.

It actually ended a relationship of mine after nearly a year.

I have never seen "en" instead of "and". Oof. That's... That's definitely something. I try not to overtly judge the way anyone communicates but that one is indeed rough.

"En" is Dutch for "and". Just saying.

Ende for the win! Also, pretty sure Afrikaans also uses en and I think also Frisian.
