LA Weekly guide on How to Protest Trump and Support Immigrants on Inauguration Day (Highland: condo, crimes)

[Ceece]

Ehh, pay attention to they type who keep protesting. They don't have much else to do. Everyone else will be at work or stuck in traffic.

There are many reasons people get fat, of course, but poverty doesn't help.

No, you didn't. But thanks for playing.

Nope, you still don't get it.

(Also, confusing "they're" and "their" and not knowing that grammar is a part of a language are not mere typos.)

Since you can't see someone on the other side of the computer/phone or read their mind, you have no idea whether something is a typo, an inaccurate autocorrect, or user error. But thanks for making one of the dumbest, most overused, and most irrelevant excuses on the Internet for criticizing someone who disagrees on a political issue.

Sorry, that was no typo. Dude tried to justify it with "talk text." Big lol!

In normal circumstances I would actually agree with you, but not when it's actually relevant to illustrate a point. But you keep on excusing illiteracy, l-rd knows that camp could use all the help they can get. Especially when they lack the self-awareness to even retort the way you did, instead insisting that grammar isn't part of language and that their (see what I did there?) way of spelling a word is correct in the face of the evidence that it isn't.

(As for the lame typo excuse: you know how this website has an "edit" button? Or, even better, how you can correct speech recognition's inputs yourself even before hitting "send"?)

No, a computer would have picked up on that mistake. In regards to autocorrect on a phone, it most likely wouldn't have noticed the wrong grammar because it's mainly for incorrect spelling. That's probably why Finper said to text it out because there was no correction, only because "their" was spelled correctly.

Still after being corrected, WITH an explanation, they still tried to justify their incorrect use of "their," so there's no excuse.

But what does that have to do with Highlander's comment re: illegal immigration, which was what I was addressing? (Nothing.)
