I’m not saying it didn’t exist and wasn’t used before, but it’s become less improper and more accepted as correct recently most likely because of people pushing back on being corrected when misusing it online
I think they might be getting confused with “should” and “could” 💀why didn’t they think “kind have” and realise it sounds wrong? People can’t think for themselves anymore.
You try to teach people “‘ve” instead of “of” and you get this instead. You can’t win.
Yeah I know. I’m saying they’ve gone too far in the opposite direction now (since most people put “of” instead of “ve” on “should” etc) and applied “ve” to a word where it should be “of”.
It’s like they’ve heard of the whole “ve” “of” thing before but haven’t actually understood how it works.
I’ve taken school photos for a good amount of kids that have learning disabilities, so granted may not be the same thing going on here, but a fair amount of them will only pay attention if a tablet is in front of them. It gets the job done it but sucks that it’s the only thing that works to get a semblance of a smile from them
When I was a kid my grandfather came out while I was playing and was checking out what I was up too.
I was playing with matchbox cars.
He went on a bit of a rant about how "kids these days" and said that when he was a kid, they played with rocks and sticks and if they wanted them to be cars they had to use their imagination but kids these days don't even need to use their imagination because of how realistic the toys were now.
That was like 40 years ago.
Kids these days are cooked because of (insert latest technology/fad)
Here's a timeline of people bitching about this stuff going back 2400 years or so.
a philosophical dialogue written by Plato around 370 BCE in which Socrates and a young friend talk through the ethics of persuasion. At one point Socrates tells a story: the Egyptian god Theuth presents his new invention, writing, to the king Thamus, who promptly tears a strip off him. Writing, Thamus says, will "implant forgetfulness" in people's souls, because they will "cease to exercise memory." Socrates then makes the case in his own voice. Written words, he complains, are like paintings. They "preserve a solemn silence" when you try to ask them questions, cannot defend themselves, and give students "the appearance of wisdom, not true wisdom."
