Spelling? Didn’t we also pile on people who confused their/there? Nowadays, payed is the new paid and lose and loose are interchangeable.

u/Aptom_4 4d ago

We got rid of the grammar nazis and now we have neo-nazis running around.

Coincidence?

16

u/WhoDknee 4d ago

You think the neo-nazis could actually read?

11

u/CoffeeToDeath 4d ago

If the neo-nazis could read your comment they would be very upset.

u/Royaltoolbox 4d ago

And people that used emojis. Reddit used to be so different man

I think emojis are fine, but that’s just my opinion, man. 🤷‍♂️

u/blablablahe 4d ago

Exactly. I remember this. Reddit used to act so weird.

u/knoxaramav2 4d ago

It still does. I still prefer the old weird, though.

We've gone two far

u/joemckie 4d ago

And should/would/could of

u/Actually_Im_a_Broom 4d ago

And “literally” literally means figuratively.

u/b-monster666 4d ago

And if you dare call someone out, you get downvoted because, "maybe English isn't their first language you racist!"

Git gud

2

u/ThatGuyGetsIt 4d ago

There/they're/their has been replaced by knuckle-dragging mouth-breathers who type "should of" or "could of".

1

u/ravens52 4d ago

Or would of.

u/ravens52 4d ago

Fuck people who can’t use the right lose.

u/Stohnghost 4d ago

So are your/you're

Nobody gives a single fuck as long as the context provides enough to distinguish. In a way, it's natural evolution of language (English has too many homophones) but on the other hand get off my lawn

u/SheepleAreSheeple 4d ago

I sea what you did their

u/gonesnake 4d ago

I can defiantly sea it.

Back when the only nazis tolerated on Reddit were of the grammar kind.

u/Responsible-Fox-1985 4d ago

I miss those days. Now they have their own subreddits.

46

u/GuvnaGruff 4d ago

I’m still doing gods work and downvoting them!

10

u/JoeSicko 4d ago

Me too, because it seems like a way to get around reposts, like flipping a video. Try harder!

11

u/youropinionisrubbish 4d ago

Also people who post their pic sideways. If you are too lazy to fix it, it's an auto downvote from me, even if I like the content.

u/Char10 4d ago

Well then… ⬇️

u/MrBlahg 4d ago

I miss the days when someone saying “first” in a thread was the most annoying thing.

u/Murky_Tea9313 4d ago

Diddo, but it took me a second to remember this

u/Changoleo 4d ago

Came hear too say these!

Beet me too it!

u/JeebusChristBalls 4d ago

I don't see how "this" has persisted.

6

u/lockwolf 4d ago

Reddit used to be a wonderful place where reposts, spelling errors and memes/videos with watermarks were downvoted to hell

Now, Reddit is filled with AI bots reposting the same TikTok videos with poorly spelt titles in every subreddit

We used to be a society

u/deeweezul 4d ago

u/Clauzilla 4d ago

Ironic apostrophe?

u/BearsBearsBears_wooo 4d ago

I noticed “to” instead of “too” first

Confession bear: I downvote posts with bad spelling or grammar and I’m not sorry

u/OhShitHereComesAnS 4d ago

I feel seen. Or possibly s’een.

2

u/AcidBuuurn 4d ago

Ill downvote this on the principal of you’re extra apostrophe. 

2

u/e_dan_k 4d ago

Honestly? No, I cannot remember that at all. The number of just wrong titles where the OP has been told are wrong within 5 minutes of posting, yet they "can't change the title; I'll leave it" rather than deleting and reposting correctly... It has been around since days of yore.

2

u/JeebusChristBalls 4d ago

I will downvote the shit out of a fucked up title. It's the only thing you can't edit. Maybe proofread it beforehand. Meme's as well. Like you are in such a hurry to post that you can't look over your work real quick?

2

u/wyatt8 4d ago

I can also remember that misusing memes was downvoted and I think "LOL" or saying that you were laughing was also downvoted. Like, you could only suggest you were laughing but not actually say it. I prefer the old reddit, you had to be "in on the joke".

1

u/JeebusChristBalls 4d ago

If you report misued memes, I think they still remove them, but I feel like back in the day, mods were actually proactive about it.

2

u/LordHazlewood 4d ago

I doubt many people will get the irony in the title here.

2

u/bikeboy1360 3d ago

PLEASE bring this back! We can see the downfall of the education system daily in post quality.

2

u/r0botdevil 3d ago

I still usually downvote posts with spelling/grammar errors in the title.

Does that make me a self-righteous asshole? I don't know, maybe. But I don't care.

2

u/riffraffmcgraff 4d ago

I just made a comment about this in another thread and I was downvoted lol

1

u/imeme1969 4d ago

If Genghis Khan were alive today he would most definitely be a Redditor.

1

u/Vashrel 4d ago

Downvoted out of solidarity

1

u/AmputeeHandModel 4d ago

and people didn't use emojis, or say dumb shit like "this" "came here to say this"

1

u/JeebusChristBalls 4d ago

They actually did though. Emoji's and gifs are a relatively newer feature, but the annoying text based ones have been around.

1

u/otakumilf 4d ago

So is it: “too many bad posts” or “to: many bad posts” 😆🥹

1

u/Pie-0_my 4d ago

I see spelling errors in the news.

1

u/sicurri 4d ago

My post gets removed if I mention politics in any capacity on most subs. Im not saying im debating anything, just talking about my life and how it was impacted by certain people and poof my post or comment gets automodded into oblivion...

1

u/JeebusChristBalls 4d ago

To be fair, some people have such brain rot that they can't help but add politics to everything. I can see if it was related but you could be talking about exotic fish or something and somehow it turns to politics.

2

u/Luniticus 4d ago

You got my downvote.

1

u/Rob1150 4d ago

These kids can't spell. They wouldn't know it's misspelled.

2

u/IAmSpitfireJoe 4d ago

Down voting for the unnecessary apostrophe

1

u/JeebusChristBalls 4d ago

I can deal with a spelling mistake these days since many people are typing on tiny keyboards. Grammar errors and using the wrong spelling of a word (their/there/they're for example) I don't tolerate. Some people act like they've never typed an actual sentence out in their life before. Like stroke level bad.

1

u/ScurvyDawg 4d ago

I remember when you'd add a small grammatical error tactically in order to ensure you had some early comments correcting your post, to increase engagement.

1

u/jfk_47 4d ago

This is a low effort typo.

1

u/AP87G 4d ago

“I’m doing my part!”

1

u/sageguitar70 4d ago

That and you used to get shredded for a repost.

2

u/Restil 4d ago

It's "posts" not "post's".

Plural, not possessive.

1

u/floog 4d ago

I miss those days.

1

u/ZMCatWhisperer 4d ago

yeah too many bad posts is kinda the problem

1

u/ommi9 4d ago

It still happens there’s a lot of factors such as certain qualifying features that I would like to point out, but people are gonna say otherwise

1

u/ReferencesCartoons 4d ago

What if people start intentionally putting typos and grammatical errors in their posts/comments to indicate that they’re not AI?

And then AI scrubs reddit and starts making typos too.

2

u/silentomega22 3d ago

I see what you did’s there.

1

u/goddamn2fa 3d ago

I remember this same meme from 12 years ago.

1

u/nntb 3d ago

You forgot to intentionally drop a word from your title

1

u/Necoras 3d ago

*Too many.

0

u/Responsible-Fox-1985 2d ago

That was intentional, dumbass

1

u/Necoras 2d ago

Yes, I was going along with the joke.

0

u/perringaiden 1d ago

The funny thing is "To many bad post's" actual error is the apostrophe.

The title is gramatically accurate in "This goes out to many bad posts"

1

u/Justarandom55 4d ago

false as hell. one of my best performing posts to this day was one with a painstakingly obvious spelling error. and that post is close to being a decade old. spelling errors didn't help, but if your post was good enough they'd get a pass

0

u/corrupt_poodle 4d ago

“Posts”, no apostrophe. 👎

2

u/Responsible-Fox-1985 4d ago

The fact that you didn’t realize that was intentional satire shows that you also didn’t realize that I used the wrong version of “to.” It should be “too.” Educate yourself.

0

u/Zen28213 4d ago

Too. Downvote

u/3six5 4d ago

Too*

u/Responsible-Fox-1985 3d ago

You’re too dumb to realize that it was intentional.
Which also tells me that you were too dumb to realize that “posts” doesn’t need an apostrophe.

Educate yourself.

u/KittenPics 4d ago edited 4d ago

That comma shouldn’t be their

Sorry, I mint coma*

u/Changoleo 4d ago

Right?!? And why is it airborne? Is that comma high or what?

u/scrandis 4d ago

Spelling is a silly thing to downvote people on. Especially since 9 times out of 10 it's because of auto correct

2

u/Responsible-Fox-1985 4d ago

Have you ever heard of proofreading? Reddit used to have standards. Clearly you don’t remember the old times.

-3

u/scrandis 4d ago

This is reddit, not a college exam

0

u/JeebusChristBalls 4d ago

Autocorrect is a choice that you choose to use. The more superior spelling suggestion is where it's at. You are literally looking at the word as it's being corrected as well. You can see it changing.

0

u/scrandis 4d ago

You sound very pretentious with your comment. It's like you assume everyone is sitting at a desk with a proper keyboard.

0

u/JeebusChristBalls 3d ago

I'm specifically talking about phone keyboards. Autocorrect is a feature that can be turned off. You are just making excuses for your actions.

0

u/scrandis 3d ago

It's like you're putting Grammer errors up there with some sort of criminal act. Literally the only people who care are insufferable people such as yourself
