It would take a super genius to understand that they're either a non-native English speaker or made a simple typo/autocorrect issue. Also, since it's completely impossible to even guess at the point they're trying to make through the context of every other word in their comment we all owe you a debt of gratitude for calling this out!

Thank you, corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca, for adding something incredibly meaningful to the conversation and the world as a whole!

Oh no.. I just saw this comment in a different thread from 2 hours ago, and it MAKES NO SENSE:

Doctors today face a demand form their services that, while we can't guarantee will get them.jigher wages, can give them more leeway against unwritten political rules of speech.

What is a doctor's "demand form?" And "them.jigher" isn't a term I could find anywhere on the internet! I don't understand what the author, corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca, was trying to say! It's all just gibberish!

I feel good calling it out though. I'm sure that corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca will be grateful for my much-needed help and not think I'm a dick for detracting from their point to assert my knowledge of English grammar over them.
