My brain always gets caught on this shit. Makes me feel guilty in certain situations bc it’s classist to want by-the-book grammar, but sometimes I genuinely have trouble understanding. Word repetitions aren’t that bad, I’ll just read the sentence a second time and I’m good. But its/it’s or there/they’re/their being mixed up can take me a minute to understand. Also, figured of speech that evolved over time and don’t make literal sense anymore, such as ‘I could care less’ often take me a bit. People can feel understandably offended when you ask if the mean ‘could’ or ‘couldn’t’ care less. But sometimes, I genuinely need to ask. Honestly makes me feel shitty about myself at times.
