In libreoffice, I replaced an auto correct entry to always replace a regular dash with the M Dash –. But now I’m being told that one should be used for very rare situations when it comes to dialogue. Any grammar experts know which one I should keep and which one I should get rid of? #Grammar

Wtf are so many people [including a stunningly large number of journos, ffs] so absolutely incompetent at this basic English pronunciation? 😮🤯

- "ien" at the end of a word is pronounced as "een"
- "ein" at the end of a word is pronounced as "ine"

Ergo, the correct pronunciation of
Goldstein is "Goldstine", & of Epstein is "Epstine".

Fucken ignorant idjits.
🙄🤦‍♀️

Nathaly Haeren has seen patios in Sydney collapse because brown rats have tunnelled under and created sinkholes. She’s been electrocuted in the roof of a house after they chewed through air conditioning wiring. She’s even visited a hairdresser where they’d gnawed a circle through double brick.
Oh the pain, the pain. What do words actually mean? 🙄🤦‍♀️😱

The Guardian · ‘The whole back of my HiLux was covered in rats’: what to do about Sydney’s growing vermin problem?By Caitlin Cassidy

People often point out various grammatical errors in texts people write. As if having better attention to words makes the argument presented more or less valid. So I suppose I'm gonna rant about this.
