why are people so okay with being functionally illiterate? i made a post on threads to stop saying “im so whimsy” or “this is so whimsy” when the appropriate word is *whimsical*.

it’s a pet peeve of mine, just like some people correct you’re vs your or their vs there vs they’re.

there are people genuinely fighting me in the replies. one even said the post itself “defeats the purpose of whimsy” and i had to tell them you can be both *whimsical* and literate. another one commented that language isn’t real and to just say whatever you want….. is this really what we’ve come to as a society? are we that anti intellectual? or has chatgpt fired your brains that much? the literacy rates alone here in the US among teens and young adults is CRAZY, then you have genuine corn balls online telling people to not correct their grammar. i’m sorry? since when has being stupid become so normalized?

i get not everyone has the same access to information while growing up, but as an adult you should be 100% okay with someone trying to correct you on your grammar, math, language, etc. in my opinion as a sociaty it’s our duty to help our peers when it comes to those things. i know i can’t do math for shit and would want someone to correct me or help me! so watching others actively protesting against their own illiteracy is so embarrassing. i’m at a loss here 🤯

i got to get off the internet for the day, i am now racist for wanting people to at least try to use proper grammar. 😭

mind you this is a post i made on my personal account, not directed toward anyone in particular, and these people are MAD like i called them stupid to their face. 🤣
