People who refuse to change how they misuse or misspell words. To/too, could’ve/could of, brake/break, and all that. I know they’ve read the correct versions, they just refuse to change.
Followed by people trying to justify the misuse. We have dictionaries. There’s some kind of standard. Yes, language does drift. But unless we want to go back to the 1600’s or so where people just made up whatever looked right for spelling, there should be some effort in maintaining a standard and not just “I can’t be bothered to do it right so I’ll claim common usage or language drift.”
That, and people who drive with their hazard flashers on for no apparent reason whatsoever.
With voice to text becoming more common homonyms are going to become the de facto standard. All of the there there and their confusion, will be too too much, not to mention it's it's and it's.....
All the voice2 text I’ve used gets these all right, by context. Better than many people.
I was going to say, these voice to text software are mini LLMs that should know which version goes where.
