Seriously, I hate it when they ruin a perfectly good comic with that.

Also, channeling my inner coastal liberal elite for a moment, I have noticed the grammar's so much worse when it comes to the right. Not that the right isn't in the right on like 90% of issues now IMO.

Yeah, but a lot of it is left-leaning people roleplaying as very dumb right-leaning people, in order to make the right-leaning people look foolish. I've seen that tactic come in to play increasingly often these last few months. Not saying that it's happening in this post, but it does happen

Either way it's just funny. Why is anyone caring when shit like this is peddled anyway

So everyone correcting grammar is racist

The comic uses it correctly. Its talking about the effect of the changes. The changes affect things, causing an effect.

Yeah, effect is a noun here and therfore correct: "It has no effect on your life". You would use affect if it was "It doesn't affect your life".

You do a verb, you cannot "have" a verb

Oof, proving the grammar nazis wrong, this a whole new level of how fucked up the English language is

It’s not.

I see this as well and it is embarrassing for the right. But, it's also an indication that the working class leans right.

"Education" is all about brainwashing and propaganda these days. Missing out on the finer points of English grammar means you also probably still think there are only two sexes.

Key words:”these days”. I’m a boomer according to the idiots in college now.

A pseudo-boomer, eh? I'm pretty much as boomer as you can get, and it was great! Of course, most of us didn't realize the building was on fucking fire, or didn't think the whole place would burn down.

Now it's starting to look like that nightclub in the northeast from a while back, and there's no way out of here either.

and "their" (I KNOW) boomers to the kids in high school

[–]NeedMoreCoffee 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

But humans do have only 2 sexes...

Unless you've received a new-think education. 36,000 genders. Miscegenation. Trannies. Evil Whiteness. And all the rest.

Comes included with whatever passes for real teaching.
