I mean, being a language gatekeeper is kinda stupid. Language and grammer is a living and constantly changing thing. Being mad that people are using a sentence style you don't like in everyday conversion is pretty silly and entitled imo

I post a meme with a big silly ape in a meme community and you make a massive assumption about me being mad or trying to gatekeep language and grammar. The absurdity of the meme is the point. It doesn't require deep analysis.

Pretty harsh self-own, but you do you

Looks like the meme has struck a nerve.

You sound like a lot of fun at parties

Yeah people hate how I don't try to police their speech patterns

It would be so ironic if they actually meant it, without sarcasm.

Because yeah, one thing making you NOT fun at parties is, for sure, policing people's speech
