On lemmy in particular, you'll see a lot of the following scenarios

  • statement could be taken one of two ways

  • option #1 makes sense and is reasonable

  • option #2 is absolute gobbledigook

  • lemmy users: "I literally cannot understand which of these interpretations is accurate"

Perhaps it's related to the large numbers of self-professed neurodivergent people here?

    Neurodivergent, my ass. I literally have been diagnosed with Aspergers'/Autism Spectrum Disorder/whatever since I was 8, that was 25 years ago, and knew it had to be the "privacy" "partner" CEO that had data broker connections. This is either lack of knowledge (reddit was easy to use and then turned evil) or lack of brain cells, but to be fair... That grammar is implausibly awful, like someone was trying to punish Mozilla...
