Pet Peeves

[CarpCharacin]

I've been around the internet for a long time and I don't know what iirc is without looking it up (because I never use it).
But, there are so many abbreviations online, at work, and while texting that my brain will not be able to get past a block once it comes to an abbreviation it doesn't recognize and sometimes even the content doesn't help.

I can't think of any internet abbreviations that I use aside from IIRC and lol. It's definitely not good to get into the habit of frequently using abbreviations, because then it becomes hard to stop.

I often feel like I'm making grammatical errors without noticing them.

It really is frustrating lol
A pet peeve I have with myself.
I used to substitute "lead" for "led" (probably because of the metal), and I only noticed it relatively recently. Hopefully I don't make too many errors now.

I get it. They don't seem to teach it anymore. I was taught it but I wasn't good at it. I've forgotten most of it anyway.
Script will soon be so foreign that us Boomers will use it as a secret code.
Like my great aunts and uncles used to use cajun french.

It feels like writing conventions are currently taught in a way that makes them seem somewhat ambiguous.

Don't worry. We notice, and we're silently judging you.

Are you saying you want to buy my house? Come on over. I’m sure we can work something out!

I mean, I've got a million Rwandan Francs. That's a pretty generous offer, right? Cash!

I'm always editing posts because I want my apostrophes! A lot of times when I'm typing dont or doesnt or isnt my autocorrect never corrects it without me actually typing it with the apostrophe. I will hurry up and post only to realize an apostrophe is missing or I've used the wrong spelling.

I am beset by solecisms.

That sounds like a big floppy joke, or something!

I've sent so many messages with typos while using my phone, only noticing them later.
