quite simple: I learned english
I say “correct” more frequently now when in agreement instead of “right.” 🤷♀️
English's biggest problem as a language is the efforts to break it even further. This idea that popular things push that state of the ever-evolving language is why we have 'mid' and 'based', which are completely detrimental no matter how fetch they seem. People who find apostrophes hard to use should not be driving the evolution of a language on some famewhore channel.

I knew English was broken well before I learned a second language
