It’s not so much about being stupid as simply picking up bad habits and never being corrected.

On a daily basis, you will be sure to encounter ‘should of’ instead of ‘should have,’ ‘apart of’ instead of ‘a part of,’ ‘where’ instead of ‘were,’ ‘specially’ instead of ‘especially,’ ‘to’ instead of ‘too,’ and there/their/they’re being used indiscriminately.

I leave ‘should of/could of/might of’ users alone because explaining that they’ve mistaken the contraction of ‘have’ when hearing the likes of ‘should’ve’ spoken aloud as sounding like ‘should of’ makes them go cross-eyed.
I’ve tried with my best mate but the Rubicon has been well and truly crossed on that front.
Amazing that anyone can tolerate this level of pedantry, I know.

Man, see what happens when I don’t get any new figure delivered in time for the weekend to play with…
Feel sorry for you that you feel the need to correct every gramma mistake that you hear or read online, that must be a REAL pain in the ass. As the one who's bothered the most about it is yourself and that creates unnecessary stress. Sure i make grammar mistakes becouse most of the time i'm typing in a rush and please take in consideration that i am dutch. I also see this quite alot at work and daily life, we live in a society now that is mixed off different cultures, languages. Some speak half dutch, half englisch, polish, turkish, spanish, greek, and many more. I have to admit sometimes its difficult to accept such a viarity of languages with gramma errors but there's nothing to do about. Stress about it, confront everyone or leave it be. The latter is the best option
 
I wish I didn’t see this custom base….

I don’t mind the stylized stock stairs dio, but this, this is better….

I think the stock stairs dio would’ve looked better if it didn’t have the panels on the side and it only had the stairs portion.

That’s nice, but I don’t need pity; I need people to learn the difference between literal and figurative statements.

I come from the home of Shakespeare for crying out loud!
That it should come to this…

Man dios aren’t cheap
I was actually shocked it was so ‘cheap’ considering Kit has quoted $400 for a similar sized throne made of polystone due to the huge cost of shipping such a heavy item.
Sub 100 is much better than I expected, making it an instant purchase.
 
Checking on the delivery status of my Joker 4 pack and… welp

That’s not what you want to see with a £1,200+ purchase.

Time to figure out what the hell is going on since GunDamit should have it back in their possession but haven’t updated me.

This conversation gave me a good laugh.

If we're being pedantic, "literally" has been informally used as an intensifier for centuries. Language changes over time. GrimmReapa's usage was completely fine (other than literally misspelling literally 😉). There was nothing unclear about what he meant.

Also, I can see why InArt is planning a TDK Joker 2.0. They really made a quality jump with this Joker set and Paul. Each successive figure is more and more impressive!

Legit…NIGHTMARE scenario for me.

Dude I hope it gets sorted out soon.

Maybe you just need to accept poeple for the way they are instead of trying to teach them about literal and figuratieve statements. If i understand what someone means its good enough for me and i correct the sentences in my head myself if its a bit incorrect. Most poeple proberly know that not everything they speak of write is correctly spoken or written. Even i admit my words or sentences are sometimes not well written but i do my best, and thats okey as long as you can understand eachother and communicate.

Well, at least you accept your insufficiencies.
