(this is just a joke - of course farmwork still has physically demanding parts)

        Not caring about spelling is nothing to be proud of. Literacy is important. A farmer who is literate is even more than a farmer who isn’t.

          Being a language pedant is nothing to be proud of. The actual linguists don’t take that that position, you’re just performing for Internet points

            I definitely do not care about internet points. Quite an assumption. On the contrary, I care for his benefit. Is it so odd that someone can give constructive criticism?

              Hey, I’m just giving you constructive criticism. Broaden your understanding of language before criticizing the language of others.

                I get that language is fluid. Sorry if I implied rigid use of language, but that’s not the same thing as saying “bail” has a definition that “bale” does not have.

                But you’re right, if a word is used with typos over and over, it can become a new word with new meaning. All I’m saying is that it is not what they meant to say.
