Absolutely no need for an apology friend. Its very much a regional thing as well.

Not according to my english teachers, but thats a different discussion and not why I responded
My english teachers taught it and enforcing it might be why, but it strikes a nerve when i hear it. Not sure why its just uncomfortable to process when i hear it (and i "hear" what im reading in my internal voice. As i understand it not everyone has an internal voice, similar to aphantasia)
But i also am thankful for the framing of it that way cause i think it will stick in my head when I'm reading and be a salve to seeing it spelled out on a page so thanks... Jerk (in a friendly way)

Don't be only be bitter and cynical, if you are, also be part of the needed majority of people who will champion the bed to take down this flawed policy. Even if you only carry the torch to pass on to those that come after us.
It's s fight with fighting. Spread the knowledge don't make people feel bad for not already knowing this or believing it. Maybe this is the straw that breaks the supply side camels back
Not at all how I see it. It's not eugenics its education, well the lack there of, that made the world in idiocracy.
