Pet Peeves

[147]

But you're okay with no full stops? LOL

I'm okay with it because there was no second sentence after it; in that case, the emoji signified the end of the thought and sentence. Also, Kudos for you for knowing how and when to use an apostrophe

As someone who makes their living as an editor, I can assure you that a proper sentence does not end with an emoji. (Note the lovely little period I ended that thought and sentence with, THEN an emoji.)

I was only poking fun! Sorry if you took it the wrong way. Although in my defense, proper use of grammar is one of my pet peeves. Anyway, no offense meant.

People using the word "can't." Absolutely loathe that word because no one uses it correctly anymore. Yes, you absolutely CAN, you just don't want to for whatever reason.

She's stating the truth. Everyone's capable of doing something in life regardless if they think otherwise.

ableism.

ableism.

You're still able to do something in life is what I was getting at, maybe not every single thing, but something.

You can't make someone be your friend.

You misunderstood @TheRealCallie's post. "because no one uses it correctly anymore" even though it's a generalisation, it's refering to people using the word when they shouldn't and not for ACTUAL things that can't be; ie, "I can't get pregnant" since I'm a man, but "I can't eat fish", which obviously you can, even though there might be bad results. Instead, people should use "I shouldn't" or "I find it difficult" etc etc.
