unrelated but is it true that when someone says "might" they're indicating that there's a low chance something will happen? and with "may" it's a high chance
i read that somewhere and it kinda confused me
just amerimutt education ig
I use "may" before pretty much every verb in my homework because it's haram to be too sure in my future profession. "Might" is the only form of the verb that rightly indicates uncertainty.

Syntax/Grammar autism has to be some of the most annoying shit in the world, who cares, the point of language is to communicate something, if you say the wrong thing but the message you wanted to get across came across then it works as intended
it is an obvious tell someone is uneducated / blue collar / poor when they don't speak correctly. just an easy way for an excelsior such as myself to filter out the common poors when dating and making friends
between two people that is fine, but when communicating with a wider audience, it's best to stick to the accepted rules of the language
too often i see esl posts which are only really properly understandable by other esl's
it's an entirely separate skill to be able to comprehend broken english
syntax and grammar are literally hallucinations and don't describe language properly at all. it's mental cope that seeks to make language out to be more complicated than it actually is. it is no mistake that algorithms based in grammarian cope are universally dogshit, while markov chains are capable of perfect construction with very simple rules. meaning is a result of pattern-association dictated by rhythm, phonetics, etc. the atomic unit of language is metaphor.
ask a linguist to formalize the link between syntax, phonetics and semantics and they'll short circuit. some of the stupider ones who aren't even familiar with their own field will even deny any connection at all. the whole of the "science" is a fat fricking joke. >Everytime I fire a linguist, the recognition rate of the model goes up
The events with regard to the relinquishment of personal funds for the attainment of reading material by common folk has, in recent years, been reducing in number at an increasing pace than has been previously observed.
Sorry, I use my language's logic when speaking English. Everything is "less" for me. The curse of English is being shat up by ESLs such as myself daily. English is going to devolve pretty hard within 100 years.

Yeah, for example: for me, anyone who types in all-lowercase is a moron.
sir this is 4chud
Epic rebuttal, newbie cancer! Go back to plebbit/x/twatter/tumblr with your homosexually sodomite all-lowercase hipster homosexualry.
i never capitalise my sentences or i's, since that's the mark of a phone poster
>I am a special snowflake hipster
No, you're anti-intellectual and moronic.
>ESL mentality

not everyone can understand the message you are portraying if you're talking like a moron.
I could care fewer
I couldn't care fewer
it's fuhrer anon, not hess
>money
>uncountable

dollar's are countable, money, the word, is not
we had a thread about this a while ago, you should look it up
use many not fewer.
>people are not buying as many books as they used to
>use more words than necessary because I said so
Book sales have dwindled among the populace in recent times.
