Amen. Why should I be less good just because lots of other people suck?

Agreed. I enjoy that I confused “because of” with “because have” in my own example tho

Hah! I mightn’t’ve thought enough about that example, probably because of a lack of sleep.

I don’t know if shouldn’t’ve is grammatically correct but I hear it a lot so it seems like fair play. Same for other contractions that I never see in text, possibly because they’re wrong. Because’ve. He’d’ve.

Also like I’ma which can’t possibly be ok, but “I am going to” is for suckers.

Indiana. We’d fail so hard and so fast that I literally cannot imagine it. People are nuts. It’d be instant MAGA-flavored Mad Max if they felt like they had an excuse to preemptively defend themselves with their guns across the countryside.

There was also a “Jathan” and it wath tho hard to thay hith name without thlipping into a lithp.

I’ve encountered a lot of the reverse of this. Danielle pronounced “Dah Nell”. Brittany pronounced “Brih Tanny”. Jonathan pronounced “Joe Nathan”.
