    Like dude, my overall point is that people different places use language differently. We shouldn’t need to code switch to talk like the Queen of England (and won’t, but the way) just to appease some grammar Nazis. Dialects that all of us are unfamiliar with exist

      They are free to use language differently, and I’m free to make fun of them, if, by trying to offend me, they use their “dialect”, which can be mistaken for is just poor English grammar.
