You have no idea how much I have to bite my tongue when I see someone type 'viola' instead of 'voila'

Opulent Opinions

If someone's meaning is clear, don't
correct their spelling or grammar. If
their meaning isn't clear, ask for
clarification without correcting their
spelling or grammar.

Start to decondition yourself from the
colonial grammar rules that were
forcibly ingrained upon you. Those
systems exist to invisibly reinforce
hierarchy. Unlearn the need to police
those rules, especially when the rules
do nothing to enhance comprehension. — Opulent Opinions If someone's meaning is clear, don't correct their spelling or grammar.

Meme done in the style of a login screen. It reads, "Thank you for your interest in the internet. Please type the correct sequence of characters into the field below."

Under that are two "Captcha"-looking blocked texts. One reads "then" and the other reads "than." Under that, some text reads, "I would rather be hugged [blank] eaten."
