Many years later, she’s out there. She’s still doing the nitty gritty. Could of cashed in and been a public speaker. I appreciate and respect what she does.
She’s a real one.
Greta Thunberg is the next generation of Bernie Sanders. Protect and cherish her.
Could have*
Learn basic grammar, FFS.
No need to be rude about it, though.
Ikr like evr even rmr witch wrds 2 use?
Edit: sadly it wouldn’t let me put the witch emoji for which
🪄 this one ?
Oups my bad eyes didn’t see it’s a magic wand. I get the broom 🧹 and magic wand 🪄 but the witch doesn’t come up.

Plagiarism is a bad thing
Including plagiarising the dictionary
There is no such thing as basic grammar, FFS. If you knew what they meant then they conveyed their meaning perfectly and you are being needlessly rude. Unless you are grading a paper that has specific requirements for Standard American English™ there is absolutely no reason to be a cock about someone else’s perfectly expressive language.

“we regularly demand of people that they suppress or deny the most effective way they have of situating themselves socially in the world”—their language (Lippi-Green 2011, p. 63). Institutional function often depends on a particular set of beliefs about how language, especially the standard language, works. Lippi-Green and others refer to this set of beliefs as the standard language ideology, defined as “a bias toward an abstracted, idealized, homogeneous spoken language which is imposed and maintained by dominant bloc institutions and which names as its model the written language, but which is drawn primarily from the spoken language of the upper middle class” (Lippi-Green 2011, p. 64; see also Agha 2007).

Or maybe its because they’re english is there second language and they could care less on lemmy, at least less then commenting.
Edit: bring the downvotes! I win, you loose.
“Could of” instead of “Could’ve”“Could have” is not a typical mistake people make that have English as their second language.
Citation needed*
The fact that you think this needs a citation shows that you are a native speaker.
These might be no high quality sources, but it shows that it is something that non native speakers find weird:
Yeah those are not citations to the point, they are anecdotal at best.
I’m not a native speaker, my first language is french, and I used to make that mistake, which is why I brought it up. Get over yourself, there’s no way to say “that’s not a mistake they would make”.
“This error is more disruptive for natives than non natives” doesn’t mean what you think it means. Sure maybe it’s not as frequent, it’s not a basis to assume anything, or to say “I’m a native speaker”.
If you feel outraged by her detention then be aware that thousands of people you’ve never heard of have suffered the same fate.
I hope she has a big glass showcase full of pictures of her being carried out by various police officers.
keep on making them roll that dice.
Greta was flexing that keffiyeh when it was still unpopular. She’s a real one.
And she was not in a good mood.
Nice to see someone who understands how to protest instead of the dip shits blocking ambulances and defacing paintings in the UK.
what difference is she making
More of a difference than you’re making, I fucking guarantee it
Making headlines removed
tin of soup
