blame english teachers for making the usage of I ambiguous. There's either an extreme contempt present for anyone who uses it "excessively" or worse a feigned puzzlement if you don't use it to signify who the subject is. Trust me its their fault and no one else's. I am certain of this.

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 5 23:20:39 2018 No.12188659 >>12188647 "should of" is not a valid contraction of "should have" regardless of how many characters are involved.

>when said out loud but they're not interchangeable

Well maybe they should be. We could just spell it 'ther' and use the context of the rest of the sentence to dictate the reader's interpretation of whether it was supposed to be 'there, their, or they're'. I think people could figure it out.

I had a friend at my last job that used to substitute the term:
>nigger rigged
with
>southern style
In order to avoid disciplinary action. We were working in a technical environment so it was handy to have a shorthand for describing the condition of equipment without an exhaustive explanation.
