Man, life online got so much better for me when I decided that I don't actually need to give even a fractional fuck about people's spelling and grammar. Should have come to that conclusion sooner. It literally doesn't matter as long as it is understandable to someone of the intended audience's dialect/language. And even when it isn't? Not a moral or intellectual issue. Just leave it alone.

#my mom had BAD dyslexia #and was a lefty #and was abused for both of those in school in the 50s #leaving her defiantly left-handed but bitterly self-conscious of her spelling her whole life #she pushed me hard to learn quote proper unquote spelling and grammar and because it was very very easy for me i eagerly did #but now as an adult-adult i just feel bad that she was ever embarrassed #nobody should feel that way ever #work to improve if you want to but just know nobody should be looking down on you for this #love to all my dyslexic and dyscalcu dyscalculi discalcli discalculeic THEM WHAT'S GOT DYSCALCULIA yall are great
