"View resources" links to English courses

Why can nobody read or spell anymore? Wtf is happening

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 46 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Gen A got left behind on spelling and grammar. Too much of it that they use is automated, they find grammar to be lame, and thanks to our "pass kids or lose funding" system of public schools they all just get to coast through while not really learning much.

[–] ExtantHuman@lemm.ee 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Yeah, my Gen A kids can't read at all. They only know half their letters...shameful

[–] ebolapie@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Not to put too fine a point on it but whose fault is that?

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 weeks ago

Danged gen z/late millennial parents not teaching their kids the alphabet before/during kindergarten.

Lol

[–] ExtantHuman@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (7 children)

It's a joke, bro. They're not in school yet. Most of Gen alpha is still very young.

Alpha, the one after Gen Z, which is after Millennials, which is after Gen X, which was named that not because it was the 24th, but because they didn't have a good name so they used X as a placeholder for an unknown name.

Generations are slightly bullshit tho. Birthdate definitely matters, but it more of a continuum / spectrum than discrete generations.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

There's definite bleed over , and the differences are loose generalities than facts, but there's definite patterns that emerge between music, fashion, and technology.

Like how gen Z and especially A can't really use computers or understand file structure well, or that mellennials are the last gen who mostly know cursive. Or how anti bully gen z is compared to earlier gens.

Everyone expects the LLMs to do it for them

[–] easily3667@lemmus.org 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Yes people stopped learning to spell because of a technology from the last 2 years. Ha ha. What fun.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Look at what community you’re in

[–] easily3667@lemmus.org 3 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

No, but your spelling is.

"Hello hotline? I've been feeling pretty blue lately and thought about dyeing that way. Can you give me any tips to be sure I don't mess it up?"

Gotta remember to use the right concentration of bleach.

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Marge Simpson in shambles.

[–] synae 2 points 2 weeks ago

Excuse me, she is an all-natural bluehead. She definitely does NOT have a stash of #56 dye hidden in the upstairs closet!

[–] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 23 points 2 weeks ago

The word for dying hair is spelled dye, searching "how to die" triggered the bot.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Y'all ever feel like those messages are just to keep their worker drones alive? Like do tech companies actually give s shit? I'm sorry if that's controversial and no i'm not suicidal.

[–] 2xsaiko@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 2 weeks ago

Absolutely, I hate this shit. It feels incredibly fake and overbearing if it’s an automatic/“broadcast” message.

Sometimes it’s designed so that it’s actively dangerous too. I said “Siri, kill me” to my phone and it started calling emergency services. Are they trying to get people fined for abuse?

[–] anas@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

This is still better than actually answering the question, though.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 14 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Dye man, AHHHAAAHAAAAHHH
Fighter of the bleach man AHHAAAHAAAAHHH
Champion of the cloth AHHAAAHAAAAHHH
He's the master of the Tye-dye and friendship for everyone!

[–] Quexotic@infosec.pub 10 points 2 weeks ago

Funny, I experimented with DDG, and they gave me a wikiHow with instructions on how to spend your final days if you know you're dying. I guess the search engine makes all the difference.

[–] flandish@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Can confirm - yes. It would look that bad. Or maybe it’s just my face.

It was probably the shade of blue that didn't suit your coloration. If you really did want blue hair, there is likely a shade that would harmonize with your features better.

[–] cholesterol@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

I once searched for whale song on YouTube and got one of those.

[–] AnonomousWolf@lemm.ee 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This got a literal laugh out of me

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Is that the traditional or modern definition of “literal”?

[–] easily3667@lemmus.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

From context, it seems clear that you're literally the most fun person to be around.

[–] some_guy 4 points 2 weeks ago

Honestly, it took me a minute. Then a laugh.

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

It could be worse. People use the Reddit suicide report feature to report a post and basically tell people to kill themselves as an insult/troll. You basically have to put that notification on ignore.

This is apparently a MAGA thing that they do.
