Sorry to be that guy, but I’m trying to promote a community here.
The title should ask, “Why were Ronald Reagan and Nancy…”
This is because the subject, Ronald Reagan and Nancy Reagan, is more than 1 person.
If anyone wants to learn English I’m moderating lemmy.ml/c/englishlearning
I’m happy to answer any questions.
Great and useful way to advertise the community lemmy.ml/c/englishlearning
You should format the link as [email protected], so people on other instances can use it too.
Bruh it’s a title to a social media post. It’s not an essay and this isn’t English class. I really don’t understand why we need perfect English for a god damn social media post.
Waiting for the asshat to come in and correct my grammar or something else I couldn’t give a fuck about since this isn’t English class.
Me speak good, how dare
Some people actually use social media to learn or practice another language, so some may appreciate the tip and the correction.
As well, it just looks better when content is written properly. If the questions here were all stuff like "how is babby formed wen women is pragnant", it wouldn't seem like the kind of community made for people who are genuinely trying to find answers to their questions.
Pretty sure English class is for daily life, so we don't revert to grunting cave people. This sentiment is what fuels poor Grammer, and it doesn't really take too much brain power to write/say things correctly
*grammar. Oh and a full stop / period on your last sentence.
Maybe they were referring to Kelsey..?
English being a trash mishmash fuels poor grammar
My family and I did not know any english when we came here as refugees. I learned english from watching television, lots of television. I appreciate people maintaining a modern linguistic standard so we don't revert back to shakespearean or god forbid Canadian. (I am Canadian, I'm sorry)
