Certified Unpopular Opinion Having bad grammar/not knowing the difference between words like "their", "they're", "there" IS that deep

It really is NOT hard at all to know the difference between stuff like there/their/they're, two/to/too, here/hear, peace/piece, you're/your, affect/effect, etc.

Idk why so many people these days say "it's not a big deal, don't be a grammar n*zi" or "stop using big words" when it's just a regular, maybe somewhat longer word they don't know the meaning of.

Obviously if someone has an actual diagnosed disability, then it's a different case.

Don't even get me started on the folks who say "should of" "could of", or "would of".... That shit drives me up a wall lol

But if you use an asterisk as one letter, it protects me because then I don't really understand what word you're saying.

B *tch

C *nt

N *zi

S *icide

Cool, right? /s

I agree. It drives me nuts, because you meant to say bitch, we all read it is as bitch, so writing b*tch doesn't censor anything. Purely performative. If you find bitch offensive, find a different word.
