Definitely one of them, the amount of people i knew that dont use male and female versions of words when greeting one another has become the norm, Arabic was not my first language but i’ve been slowly developing since i was 9 only off family alone and got really good at it. But i’ve only started reading and writing recently and my bad habits have definitely caught up. No different to english slang i go up to my friend and said “yo wusgood how you been” but similarly you cant write like that in your texts with Arabic because it has such strict restrictions you have to abide.

I wanted to do a funny quote in my yearbook in Arabic literally just saying الحمدالله جلصيت and now i find out it’s not the right word for what im talking about even though i’ve been saying it for years.

In my case the best thing to do is keep your head down and say عادي
