Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect!
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Many years later, she's out there. She's still doing the nitty gritty. Could of cashed in and been a public speaker. I appreciate and respect what she does.
She's a real one.
Greta Thunberg is the next generation of Bernie Sanders. Protect and cherish her.
Could have*
Learn basic grammar, FFS.
No need to be rude about it, though.
Ikr like evr even rmr witch wrds 2 use?
Edit: sadly it wouldn't let me put the witch emoji for which
🪄 this one ?
Oups my bad eyes didn't see it's a magic wand. I get the broom 🧹 and magic wand 🪄 but the witch doesn't come up.
🧙♀️
There is no such thing as basic grammar, FFS. If you knew what they meant then they conveyed their meaning perfectly and you are being needlessly rude. Unless you are grading a paper that has specific requirements for Standard American English(TM) there is absolutely no reason to be a cock about someone else's perfectly expressive language.

Plagiarism is a bad thing
Including plagiarising the dictionary
Or maybe its because they're english is there second language and they could care less on lemmy, at least less then commenting.
Edit: bring the downvotes! I win, you loose.
"Could of" instead of "Could've""Could have" is not a typical mistake people make that have English as their second language.
Citation needed*
The fact that you think this needs a citation shows that you are a native speaker.
These might be no high quality sources, but it shows that it is something that non native speakers find weird:
Quora1
Quora2
Reddit
Blog entry about mistakes that native speakers make
Another similar blog
Oh, and here is a PhD thesis where you can see in chapter 5.2 "Error processing cost" that this type of error is more disrupting for non native than for native speakers.
Yeah those are not citations to the point, they are anecdotal at best.
I'm not a native speaker, my first language is french, and I used to make that mistake, which is why I brought it up. Get over yourself, there's no way to say "that's not a mistake they would make".
"This error is more disruptive for natives than non natives" doesn't mean what you think it means. Sure maybe it's not as frequent, it's not a basis to assume anything, or to say "I'm a native speaker".
