    Yes, this is “how it was supposed to be used for”.

    The sentence construction quality these days in in freefall.

      shrugs you know people have been confidently making these kinds of statements… since written language was invented? I bet the first person who developed written language did it to complain about how this generation of kids don’t know how to write a proper sentence.

      What is in freefall is the economy for the middle and working class and basic idea that artists and writers should be compensated, period. What has released us into freefall is that making art and crafting words are shit on by society as not a respectable job worth being paid a living wage for.

      There are a terrifying amount of good writers out there, more than there have ever been, both in total number AND per capita.

        This isn’t a creative writing project. This isn’t an artist presenting their work. What in the world did that tangent even come from?

        This is just plain speech, written objectively incorrectly.

        But go on, I’m sure next I’ll be accused of all the problems of the writing industry or something.

          Sure, I definitely overreacted and I honestly was pretty stressed out the day I replied so yeah, fair. I think I have a point, this just wasn’t the salient place for it and I was too tired to realize that in the moment.
