I share your doubts regarding his financial wellbeing, which is why I included the question mark in braces. But the main point is that he's perceived as rich by those people.

But he's a rich(?) fat old rapist and orange loser.

First of all, I never said I buy them on release. I pretty much but all of my games on discount. Except for Factorio.
And also, you tell me to speak for myself and then immediately admit to buying an occasional AAA. So turns out I was speaking for you, too.
But most importantly, the point was that my statement will be true for vast majority of people. They aren't gonna stop buying AAA games.

Might as well say "stop buying AAA games", as they all are made by corporations, who are, as we know, scummy.
But we aren't gonna stop, are we? Like, I don't even play them, I play retro and indie games, but an occasional AAA still slips in.

If I wasn't dead, I would hate being a person in Middle English era either way.
But thanks for the interesting article.

In my experience, these mistakes are made primarily by native speakers. Because they learned it by hearing and can't tell the difference. Those who learned English as a second language learn through books and are explicitly taught the difference.

On Reddit I always assumed that so many people can't be that ~~stupid~~ uneducated and make these obvious mistakes for engagement bait.
But now that we are on Lemmy, and engagement gets you nowhere, I'm losing faith in humanity at a faster pace.

I'm surprised I haven't seen the "Adstronaut in Ad Space" joke anywhere else.
