Is the chess community nice?

It’s been time for a rebellion for years, the populace just needs to collectively realize and acknowledge it

I’m tired of seeing that argument to validate incorrect usage of words that already exist. Words mean things. People using a language incorrectly don’t get to just decide that the words they’re using mean something else now because that’s how they meant it. That’s not “growing and evolving”, it’s just using the language incorrectly and being too stubborn to admit a fault in themself and instead try to change the language to fit their lack of education about the language and its usage.

The words “could”, “should”, or “would” followed by the word “of” is completely nonsensical and meaningless. It is a misunderstanding/misinterpretation of “could’ve”, “would’ve”, or “should’ve” being heard audibly because they sound similar. “Apart” literally means the opposite of “a part”, and, again, comes from a misunderstanding from hearing the word spoken rather than seeing it written down because it sounds the same.

A perfect example of language evolving is the word “another”. It literally is the words “an” and “other” pushed together to form a single word and has the exact same meaning as that. Another example is the word “bosun”. It literally means “boatswain”, and comes from the word being shortened down in spoken communication, but is a completely made up word and has no prior meaning.

Do not confuse incorrect usage of the language as growth and change.

I’m sorry for coming off as an ass, I literally did not sleep last night and I’m very tired.

That and the unfortunate increasing failure of the education system.

To extend what TheGreenGolem said, what you have understood as “could of” is actually a contraction of the words “could” and “have” into “could’ve”

I would be pretty happy about getting my nails done too

Or “How it feels”

I feel like there’s been a gradual increase in people saying things like this (“would of” instead of “would’ve”, “apart” instead of “a part”, etc)

Some say they’re still playing hot-cold to this day

That’s how jfk really died

All good! “Fell” is the past tense of “fall”. Aternatively in some cases you could say “did fall”, though in modern English that’s usually used as an affirmative to a question about the fallen status of the chocolate (e.g. [which is short for the Latin “exemplia gratia” , meaning “for example”], Question: “Did the chocolate fall?” Answer: “Yes, the chocolate did fall” or “Yes, it did fall”).

There are actually other (irrelevant) meanings of the word “fell”; as an adjective in “a fell beast” for example, “fell” means “fierce, cruel, terrible, or dreadful”; or as a verb meaning “to knock, strike, shoot, or cut down; cause to fall” for example " to fell a moose" or “to fell a tree.”

It’s tough because we’ve had “free” for so long of so many services. But I honestly think yes, as long as it was something very low like $5/month at most.

I am in need of an explanation, Captain.

Imo Sekiro is harder. Eden Ring, while quite difficult at times, feels much more forgiving to me. Really I think there are only a handful of bosses in ER that really fucked me up.

Capitalism doesn’t work that way

Oh, I thought you said “romo”

Its really not as easy to acquire fiber-dense foods in the US as one might assume. That shit costs money, and is a low priority for people who don’t have money.

Edit: my point of it being a low priority for most people who don’t have money stands.

It’s a whale egg

I saw that too, I thought it was a mannequin lol

I feel like the free PS+ games have really gone down in quality for a while now.
