No, but I’m gonna run his code anyway

I didn’t want to come off dismissive asking how often you’re talking about those specific kinds of plants but maybe it’s a relevant question after all lol
I think you and I have very different experiences. I rarely see that kind of correction if ever.
When you’re in a public space you never know when your words are being consumed by an ESL speaker. I think the best approach is natural yet accurate. They’re going to encounter contractions when dealing with native speakers, but the difference between it’s and its, for example, can be tricky so try to use them as taught.
Spelling mistakes can absolutely be an issue. It’s already hard enough to figure out English spelling without native speakers making it worse. Add on to that the difficulty in any added language of working out near homophones, let alone actual homophones.
I knew someone who was pretty decent with English as their third language but had trouble keeping Texas and taxes straight. I know another guy who is American and uses no in place of know. That one threw me for a while before I figured out what he was trying to say.
I will admit, I do like that “technically” the plural for octopus is “supposed to be” octopods (pronounced like oc-tip-o-dees) but that’s a fun “fact”, not a correction I’ve ever tried to make.
90+% of the time you get common mistakes. Should ofs, they’re - there - their confusions, apostrophes for plurals.
The kind of thing that confuses ESL speakers. The decent thing would seem to be to try and stick to the way it’s taught rather than go with the “it doesn’t matter” route when it absolutely matters to some.
I’m juggling 3 languages
We Americans like to forget that anyone might have any trouble understanding English especially in cases of polyglots.
I don’t know which is your native tongue but from this comment it looks like you’re doing a fine job.
Except that it would be “they should, of course,”.
Also that person may have known what you meant, but another might not and may have any number of reasons for not asking.
Better communication skills are a worthwhile goal and there’s no good reason to not learn and grow.
It never ceases to amaze me that the actor who played an idiot on News Radio, and never really seemed like he was acting, has become what he has.
Given him and Andy Dick both were on there, maybe someone should check in on Dave Foley and Stephen Root.
Sorry, can’t help but make light of this fucker’s bullshit, pardon the French.
It’s no trouble at all, but I don’t know what a seal has to do with any of this or how you spelled phoque so badly
I’ve got three monitors and a few other PCs that are all interconnected so I can mouse off one on to another.
I just turn my chair
That sounds a lot like
My rear passenger tire was about 3psi low so I bought a new Grand Cherokee
Lot of comments here with single down votes. I wonder how salty op is
Is it requiring a cell for being the 2fa piece? I don’t use GitHub but I’d be surprised if they did. There’s been plenty of options for a while now. Email, authenticators, u2f keys. You should be able to enable 2fa that will use the same data you’re using to access GitHub.
Ah but what is enough money for you or I is not enough money for the bigwigs. And since they’re obviously more important, as they’re at the top, we have to have sure they get enough money even if that means you don’t.
But they’ll get you a ping pong table so you can stop thinking about how you don’t know what you’re going to feed your family tonight
Have you tried?
What other job do you get when your experience is tipped work? Or do you go to school to take on debt that will set you back for a long time because the education system is shot too.
Or, maybe, the owners of the restaurant make slightly less profit and pay their employees a living wage.
And maybe landlord start handing over deeds to the people paying their mortgages. But we’re operating in reality and need to consider things that might happen.
If companies eat the cost of pay increases how will the executives afford that new yacht they’ve been eyeing?
Sure but until they do a lot of those people need tips to get by and it’s far from as easy as “just get a different job”
