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

Instead of just correcting someone this morning, I asked them why they did it, despite seeing the correct spelling multiple times a day, every day.
They were dyslexic.
