I didn’t want to come off dismissive asking how often you’re talking about those specific kinds of plants but maybe it’s a relevant question after all lol
I think you and I have very different experiences. I rarely see that kind of correction if ever.
When you’re in a public space you never know when your words are being consumed by an ESL speaker. I think the best approach is natural yet accurate. They’re going to encounter contractions when dealing with native speakers, but the difference between it’s and its, for example, can be tricky so try to use them as taught.
Spelling mistakes can absolutely be an issue. It’s already hard enough to figure out English spelling without native speakers making it worse. Add on to that the difficulty in any added language of working out near homophones, let alone actual homophones.
I knew someone who was pretty decent with English as their third language but had trouble keeping Texas and taxes straight. I know another guy who is American and uses no in place of know. That one threw me for a while before I figured out what he was trying to say.
I will admit, I do like that “technically” the plural for octopus is “supposed to be” octopods (pronounced like oc-tip-o-dees) but that’s a fun “fact”, not a correction I’ve ever tried to make.
90+% of the time you get common mistakes. Should ofs, they’re - there - their confusions, apostrophes for plurals.
The kind of thing that confuses ESL speakers. The decent thing would seem to be to try and stick to the way it’s taught rather than go with the “it doesn’t matter” route when it absolutely matters to some.
I’m juggling 3 languages
We Americans like to forget that anyone might have any trouble understanding English especially in cases of polyglots.
I don’t know which is your native tongue but from this comment it looks like you’re doing a fine job.
Except that it would be “they should, of course,”.
Also that person may have known what you meant, but another might not and may have any number of reasons for not asking.
Better communication skills are a worthwhile goal and there’s no good reason to not learn and grow.
A worthwhile thing to keep in mind whether it’s for tea, supplements, or whatever, is that medication is based on things that were observed from “natural” sources.
For example, willow bark was/is/has been used for pain and inflammation. It also contains salicin which is similar to acetysalicylic acid, which you’ll know better as aspirin.
Does that mean all the things people say do a thing work? Not at all. Do some of them have varying degrees of effect of some percentage of people? Yes.
So more Gmail than G+
Might Bluesky be doing the same?
In fairness, Gmail had a similar invite system when it launched and that’s been way more successful than G+
I’ve got three monitors and a few other PCs that are all interconnected so I can mouse off one on to another.
I just turn my chair
Have you considered that plenty of people probably find your advice stupid and condescending regardless of saying the word “airpod”?
Or that the word airpod was also unnecessary since you already said headphones?
Apple defaultism is pretty dumb on its own, but it’s hardly the biggest problem with your comment.
That sounds a lot like
My rear passenger tire was about 3psi low so I bought a new Grand Cherokee
I suspect something else is going on there. I made that switch years ago and haven’t found a site that doesn’t play nice with Firefox in that time.
Lot of comments here with single down votes. I wonder how salty op is
Is it requiring a cell for being the 2fa piece? I don’t use GitHub but I’d be surprised if they did. There’s been plenty of options for a while now. Email, authenticators, u2f keys. You should be able to enable 2fa that will use the same data you’re using to access GitHub.
prosthetics and bionics are taking leaps and bounds
Heh
Thanks for picking up where the summary dropped the ball
Yes but he serves a different community
