I just wanted to post an apology to a rioter by the name of Aneea <3, I was in a support chat with her about my broken client and she was being extremely helpful until my PC crashed randomly and in turn ended the chat. Wanted to say i was sorry as this might of seemed really rude of me but i couldn't find my way back to the chat messages. Hopefully I didn't come off as rude because that stuff really annoys me. Thanks i hope you see this.

+1 from me btw
Aneea13 votesAww. You're so nice. :) No need to apologize. You didn't come out as rude at all. :) I figured out something might have happened. Anyway, I'm sorry to hear your issue still persists so I opened a ticket for you on the email that you talked to me from during chat. [slayer-jinx-catface] Let's try to fix this issue together, so it won't happen again. :)
I'm looking forward to your response via email.
Thank you for taking your time to write this.
Lord Phazanor 10 votesIt's all cool and nice, but it's "might have" and not "might of".
Barkley35 votesThat's all well and good, but when using quotations at the end of a sentence, the period goes inside of the quotes, not out.
Unless you're a huge proponent of Old English, but since it says "NA" next to your name, I'm going to assume you're meaning to use standard American English - in which case you're incorrect.
Also, dialectal colloquialisms are fine as long as their message is clear, and since probably about 60% of American English speakers say "Might of," and "Might have" is only common in places where prestige dialect is practiced (academia, professional environments, etc.) the usage is absolutely fine.
This is a video game forum, not an English classroom. But since you wanted to turn it into a classroom, there's a lesson for you.

That's true.

I'm from Europe and learned british english :/ In which case your assumption is dumb.
The usage of "of" instead of "have" is dumb, and you pretending the contrary only proves one thing. Same goes for every upvote you got. Having a lot of illiterate people with you still only makes you a bunch of illiterates.
Also, the "this is not a classroom" excuse denotes you're either still very young (a child) or that you believe that what you get taught in school is only useful in school and not in real life, which is dumb.
Don't try to sound smart when you write "of" instead of "have". It doesn't work at all.
Chaot18963 votesI don't understand why you get downvoted. Using "of" instead "have", or more specifically " 've ", since that pronunciation is more alike and that's where the mistake most likely originates, just seems so stupid to me. English is not my mothertongue, so I only learned it in a classroom, and because of that right, but still, can't understand this...

Because people who do the mistake feel insulted when it's pointed out. It's better to find an excuse rather than realizing you've been doing a stupid mistake all your life.
But hey, the guy is a linguist, so it's not important if he does a beginner mistake, amirite?

That just makes it worse lol. Unless you're lying, which would only make it dumber...
Barkley2 votesIf you're really this upset about "might of," you're not ready to hear about double modals.
What do you have to say about the sentence "She might could swim?"
The difference between a language and a dialect is nothing more than an army, a navy, and money.
Your pedantic approach to language has its place inside the four walls of a classroom, but outside of a professional or academic setting, majority tends to rule - and I guarantee you you'll find a pretty convincing majority of people make the "mistake" of saying "might of" instead of "might have."
The point is that their meaning is 100% clear. To correct them is just pointless. There's nothing to gain. There's no clearer understanding to be had. No communication breakdown is going to occur because of it. There's no ambiguity to the meaning.
You're making the correction purely on your assumption that the prestige dialect is THE dialect, and your assumption that anyone who undermines the prestige dialect is somehow less intelligent. You're making the correction because you think it somehow makes you superior.... it doesn't.
I'm fully aware that the "correct" (prestige) usage is "might have."
But when I'm speaking to my friends over a few beers, or typing on a video game forum, if I say "might of" it just plain and simply doesn't matter. You're not my professor, and you're not a potential employer, and you understood full well what I was trying to say. You just chose to correct it because you think you know the "right" way its used, when in fact - there is no "right" way.
Would you go around southern states correcting everyone who says "Y'all" into saying "You all?" Would you go around the midwest correcting everyone who says "You guys" into saying "You people?"
You say you're from Europe... don't you people say things like "Al-yoo-minnie-um" for aluminum? What's your stance on things like that? There's no "I" or "E" between the "N" and "M." Does that make many Europeans illiterate?
Everyone and their mother will know what you're talking about. Nobody would even question it. Its not the correct pronunciation, and makes no sense at all to say it that way... but its said. Its said WIDELY across English-speaking Europe. Do you go around correcting everyone you hear pronounce it that way in the same way that I've corrected you here?
I'd put money on the fact that you don't - because you know what they mean, even though its wrong.
The argument that prestige dialect is superior in some way to common language, or indicative of greater overall intelligence is asinine, man. There's no correlation. Its all about environment, and using the proper dialect for where you're at and who you're talking to.
Knowing when to be prim and proper, and when to talk however you feel like talking is the ACTUAL sign of intelligence.
If this was a professional environment or an academic setting, we "might of" used "might have."
But its not.
So get over yourself.

So me telling you that's a dumb mistake triggered you to the point of going full /r/iamverysmart mode...
And yes, if people do mistakes, you help them by correcting them.
And "You say you're from Europe... don't you people say things like "Al-yoo-minnie-um" for aluminum? What's your stance on things like that? There's no "I" or "E" between the "N" and "M." Does that make many Europeans illiterate?"
What does that even mean? Not only english is spoken in Europe. If you were referring to how "aluminium" is pronounced by british english, then it's not "illiteracy", nor even a mistake. It's another language with different pronounciation rules.
It all comes down to this: you can either say "oh right I was wrong, thank you" or "oh wow you're so pedantic for correcting me when I'm wrong".
To bring this back to LoL, it's the same thing when people tell you you're toxic when you explain to them that their Last Whisper is a waste if the enemy team has no armor item.
Man up instead of going full derp just because you can't stand being wrong. Especially for such a trivial thing...
And finally: "The argument that prestige dialect is superior in some way to common language, or indicative of greater overall intelligence is asinine, man. There's no correlation. Its all about environment, and using the proper dialect for where you're at and who you're talking to."
This right there. You can't be a "30 year old Linguistics minor with a college degree" with that reasoning. That's the way scholar failures think.
"I'm not wrong because I did it on purpose!"
Edit: and double modals are part of certain dialects. They're legitimate. "Could of" isn't. It's a mistake, no matter how you picture it. Of course there's a right way of speaking and writing, what the fuck are you even implying?

its betas like you that are why feminism exists
It's fucking sexist idiots like you that are why feminism needs to exist
Yaśuo Main6 voteshe didn't say anything sexist. besides, MrPhantom is talking about 3rd wave feminism. Remember when there used to be laws where you could get in trouble for swearing in front of women? Cmon dude, feminism wore out already. Might as well call it Democratic Social Anomolies.
Also, feminism doesn't need to exist. Not in the form it is right now, there needs to be a movement of Gender Equality and not feminism because both have advantages in place they shouldn't, like office work (man advantage) to nursing (women advantage) and blah blah blah.

Barkley15 votesI'm still failing to see how that says anything about his/her sexuality at all. Sounds like baseless assumptions, and honestly how is it any business of yours anyway? How would you be affected literally at all if he/she is or isn't homosexual? What does it matter?
you will likely NEVER meet this person. So why do you care?

Arakadia12 votesThis is hardly feminine.
Besides, gay guys being feminine is more of a stereotype than anything.
YumaS2Astral2 votesThis is hardly feminine.

I've found quite a lot of gay guys who aren't feminine at all. In fact, it is common in gay apps for guys to write "I don't like effeminates"
SoryInAdvance1 votesYeah because you don't know the not feminine ones are gay until they tell you. The feminine ones, you can just tell. Hence the stereotype.
Barkley1 votesThis is also false. I know a number of extremely feminine straight men, and I can almost promise you they pull more dime pieces in a week than you will in your lifetime. Women view them as "non threatening" because they know about things like makeup, nail polish, fashion, etc. Which also gives them something to talk about that they can't talk about with most men. Women eat that shit up.
My best friend in high school was on the cheer team, the dance team, and the men's gymnastics team, and he practically had to shield himself from all the pussy being thrown at him.
SoryInAdvance1 votesThere's a difference between knowing about makeup and wearing it in public, carrying a purse, and wearing uggs.
Barkley4 votesI know probably 10x more masculine gay men than I do feminine gay men. In fact, most gay men tend to shun feminine types. After all, if they wanted to be with a female, why would they be gay?
I also know quite a few straight men who are very feminine. Maybe it has something to do with being raised by single mothers. You don't know anyone's story, and to make bigoted assumptions as you have is just the earmark of an uneducated, insecure person.
Inb4 "how do you know so many gay men, are you gay??" The answer is no, and even if I was its none of your business - but I was raised in part by a gay man since my father wasn't around much, my mother's best friend (who is gay) helped raise me, and as such I've learned that gay people aren't any different than any other people. Except their sexual preference, of course. So through the years I've made quite a number of straight and gay friends - because frankly I don't give a rats ass who someone's fucking.
