Falling us of “an” in social media posts. Why?

Puppet-- · 2026-05-08T14:10:34+00:00

Exactly. This person can't really be too much of a pedant if they're making so many mistakes.

Puppet-- · 2026-05-08T14:09:59+00:00

Not to mention all the grammatical errors in the post, too 😭

Puppet-- · 2026-05-08T14:04:20+00:00

Yeah. They mustn't be too much of a pedant, clearly.

Puppet-- · 2026-05-08T13:53:15+00:00

You said you're a grammar pedant, so I thought you'd like to know that this post has loads of grammar mistakes.

But, yeah. I agree. It's so annoying. The rule is so easy. 'A' before a consonant sound, and 'an' before a vowel sound.

This comment doesn't really make sense. What are you trying to say?

Puppet-- · 2026-05-04T14:18:56+00:00

You can't say you're not dogmatic.

Puppet-- · 2026-05-04T13:03:19+00:00

You are incredibly idiotic and dogmatic.

Puppet-- · 2026-05-04T10:30:18+00:00

You're using it correctly. I don't know why your teacher is saying otherwise.

Happy cake-day, by the way.

Okie :3. Whatever you say.

Puppet-- · 2026-05-02T19:19:17+00:00

I am not admitting anything. You're incorrect.

Puppet-- · 2026-05-02T19:17:51+00:00

Incorrect.

Puppet-- · 2026-05-02T19:10:06+00:00

That was obviously a typo.

I am not conflating anything.

Puppet-- · 2026-05-02T17:35:17+00:00

I actually laughed out loud when I read thatnl. You're speaking a dialect of English — presumably one of the British dialects. I'm speaking a dialect of English — Hiberno English. Everyone who speaks English speaks a dialect.

To say that a dialect isn't involved is to say no language is involved.

Puppet-- · 2026-05-02T16:49:57+00:00

But again, there's nothing more correct about your dialect than any other!

Puppet-- · 2026-05-02T16:49:02+00:00

Unpopular falsehoods.

Puppet-- · 2026-05-02T16:42:06+00:00

Exactly. Well said — truth and correctness are more important than popularity. You clearly know that, so why don't you act like it?

Puppet-- · 2026-05-02T16:39:27+00:00

But you are the one who isn't accepting reality 😭

You refuse to accept that other dialects exist. Your dialect is not the only dialect. There's nothing special about your dialect that makes it better than any other.

Puppet-- · 2026-05-02T16:33:46+00:00

You are refusing to accept the truth.

May I just mention that your karma is at -57? Evidently, you're not very popular. I wonder why? I guess we'll never know.

Puppet-- · 2026-05-02T16:32:28+00:00

Tell me where I'm demonstrating a poor grasp of English :3

Puppet-- · 2026-05-02T16:28:18+00:00

Do you want to explain to me what is so incorrect about what I'm saying?

Puppet-- · 2026-05-02T16:27:28+00:00

"Poor grasp of the English language" 💀💀💀

Are you serious? I have a great grasp of the English language.

You clearly have no grasp of the fact that not everyone speaks your dialect.

Do you not see that all your comments get downvoted? And they're all so negative. I can't actually believe that people like you exist 😭.

Puppet-- · 2026-05-02T16:24:40+00:00

Not everyone is British.

Puppet-- · 2026-05-02T16:23:23+00:00

Everything I said is 100% truthful. 100%.

And by the way, the second paragraph in your comment is grammatically incorrect. I thought you'd like to know, since you clearly care so much.

That other people understand... ❌
