This is quite recent but I’ve been browsing Lemmy a bunch lately and quite often I see extreme grammatical errors.
I’m not talking about like, incorrect stylistic choices between commas and dashes, or an improper use of ellipses or missing commas or incorrect use of apostrophes in its/it’s or in multiple posessive articles or just plain typos or any nitpicky grammar nazi shit like that, but just basic spelling specifically.
It’s one thing when you can’t spell some pretty uncommon words and you’re too lazy to look it up and/or use autocorrect, but it’s a completely different league to misspell very basic words, very recently I saw someone spell “extreme” as “extream” which is just kind of baffling, I actually can’t even imagine how one would make such a mistake?
And it’s not been an isolated thing either, I’ve seen several instances like that lately.
Am I going crazy? Is it just me?
My phone is stupid and will automatically correct on its own to giggerish or to other words that makes no sense. That’s why I do so many edits. I don’t always catch the errors.
This is the real cause. Tech peaked and has since gobe to dogshit monetization, ai-ification and ultimately idiocrification.
Edit: point proven. Autocorrected gone to “gobe”. WTF?
The Samsung keyboard doesn’t respond to tapping the word you want most of the time. They fixed it once and then broke it again during the next update
