The majority of adults to know the different between there, their and they're?
Also your and you're? To, too and two.
I see so many posts across different platforms where people claim they're smart and better educated than most or try to belittle people yet they don't really know much themselves.
Ready to be flamed for this but just really irritates me!

You know people can just AS you and see that your own grammar is lacking, right? Hmm

I agree with you but the majority won't!

Reread your own post and you will realise that auto correct and predictive text are often to blame for many grammatical and spelling errors.

And what about those people with learning difficulties or dyslexia for example...should they not be allowed to post in case they get it wrong?

Sparklesocks · 04/06/2019 19:43

Some people are better at spelling and grammar - so what?

YouKnowILoveYou · 04/06/2019 19:44

It's the people that claim they're smarter than everybody else that get on my nerves actually. Everyone makes mistakes and I'm not judging that. I work with people that have sen so no I'm not saying they can't post 🙄🙄

I see so many posts across different platforms where people claim they're smart and better educated than most or try to belittle people yet they don't really know much themselves.

You mean like this thread you've posted?

Can you link to some of these posts on these all these platforms as examples?
