I like that you like sharing memes, because I’ve come across them enough to think you are a community unto yourself.
I like sorting by new to report garbage and interact with things that would otherwise die, also to help Lemmy grow! It’s lonely in new but… i get to report a lot of weird stuff.. so there’s that 🫠
Interesting choice given the way that's been shifting slowly back to the more accurate form in the past however many years.
If colloquial usage did trump all, irregardless would've been acknowledged as a correct word well before I was born. It may be the driving force but it's hardly the only, or even constantly deciding, factor
Little bothered that Tim Russ said "bias" instead of "biased"
This is a pet peeve of mine
I'm a little bias short and stout, here is my handle here is my spout
A peeve of mine is the term “pet peeve”. 😅
If something bothers you so, why the fuck would you keep, nurture, and tend to it as a pet?
I propose it change to haunting peeve, because you don’t want it, can’t get rid of it, and it exists regardless if you think about it or not.
😁 (I’m not super serious about this, but “pet peeve” really does low-key bother me)
I can support this
Omg you are an actual person. Every time I see your username under a post I, for whatever reason, think it’s the community name.
I’ve seen a lot of your posts I think 😅 thanks for what you do! 🫡
(No it didn’t register that I replied to you until I went back to look.. I don’t really -see- usernames)
I am, and thanks! Beep boop, I like sharing memes. Just doing my part to help Lemmy grow.

Thank you for your service, soldier. That's the kind of stuff Lemmy needs!
it's actually short for petite peeve, because it's something small and unimportant. Or maybe it's not, but you don't know.
It's partly a joke (your favourite peeve, for example) and probably a reference to the other, now archaic, meaning of pet:
I think you can accept idioms as they are or you'll be endlessly feeling like one saying or another has got your goat
You must have missed the part that says I’m not really serious.
If you understand someone well enough to correct them, you didn't have to.
Just because you understand someone well enough to correct them doesn't mean everyone else will
Just because you understand them well enough today doesn't mean you will tomorrow
We should all be striving to be better than we are, not breeding resentment from contentment
I hate this extragrammatical idiom so much.
But given that colloquial usage trumps all else when it comes to driving the evolution of language, most people could care less.

Autocorrect ducks for us all.
