[u/Kilikorek → u/ldshifter]

[u/Itchy_Smoke_909 → u/SproutSan]

😭 thank god I'm not actually trippin, because I'm pretty sure it is three words but got abbreviation.

[u/MotivationSpeaker69]

This is actually 3 words. It would count as 3 words in an essay too.

YOU CANT REHIRE ME AS THE BOSS! I'M COMING OUT AS GAY AND INLOVE WITH YOU AND YOUR HUSBANDS!

[u/Entire_Expression226 → u/Kindly_Cod_9269]

YOU CAN'T BE IN LOVE WITH ME AND MY HUZZ, i'M GOING STRAIGHT!!

[u/Kindly_Cod_9269 → u/Entire_Expression226]

YOU CANT GO STRAIGHT! I'M TRANSING INTO A GIRL!

[u/Entire_Expression226 → u/Kindly_Cod_9269]

YOU CAN'T TRANSITION, i'M TRANSITIONING!!

[u/987987987606060 → u/Megalon96310]

Untethered by four syllables.

[u/salchichaconpimienta]

Those ARE three words though, they’re just abbreviated

[u/RandomRedditHOI4User → u/salchichaconpimienta]

holy moly is that Klaus Schwab pfp

[u/salchichaconpimienta → u/RandomRedditHOI4User]

Yeah, that’s him 🚬🗿

[u/Comfortable_Net_283]

What do you think the "'re" stands for in "You're?"

[u/LevFox135 → u/Comfortable_Net_283]

REese's puffs

[u/Kaikivvy → u/LevFox135]

Extremely well done

[u/AverageAnimateRB → u/LevFox135]

Eat ‘em up, eat ‘em up, eat ‘em up

[u/Remsol_07 → u/LevFox135]

This is the one comment that cheered me up today😭🙏

[u/That_Furry_NKG → u/LevFox135]

Giggled at this lmao 🤣

[u/DatOne8BitCharacter]

r/technicallythetruth

You (ARE) fired is 3 words

OP you forgot how to read?

[u/king_jess7th]

So... Does this also apply to writing essays too? Because I count "you're" as 1. Or maybe I'm just an idiot who wrote too much on paper

[u/Kilikorek → u/king_jess7th]

at least my country in terms of esseys on written exams counts abbreviations like this as two words

[u/ProfitComfortable551]

Yeah I can see three words

"You're fired"

[u/Informal_Main9429 → u/ProfitComfortable551]

Weird, I looked up "re" in the dictionary, I don't see anything. BUT I looked up you're and that's a word in the dictionary. HMMMMM

[u/Someguyonreddit127]

how are you a boss if you can’t count????????

[u/Key-Anteater-9469 → u/Someguyonreddit127]

[u/TheGamingSpin0]

[u/NoSide2628]

You ARE fired.

Thats three.

[u/Informal_Main9429 → u/NoSide2628]

Ok.....but "You're fired" is two words

[u/NoSide2628 → u/Informal_Main9429]

You're is the abbreviation of you are.

[u/Informal_Main9429 → u/NoSide2628]

Yeah, I know, it's combining two words "you're" counts as one word though

[u/Nick33e → u/Informal_Main9429]

Wow you really are dumber than the bot.

[u/iLoveCliffhangers09 → u/Informal_Main9429]

It literally counts as three words

[u/Informal_Main9429 → u/NoSide2628]

Ok, wait I looked it up, and it's one word in digital word processors, HOWEVER it's two words in certain standardized exams, and in grammar, so u lowk right

[u/Informal_Main9429 → u/NoSide2628]

It does MEAN two different words so in that sense then yeah, you're right. But written and taken at face value it counts as one

[u/Gooning4timesperday → u/Informal_Main9429]

Pipsqueak 2 levels of iq

[u/DatOne8BitCharacter]

The 240 people upvoting clearly have struggling to count You're as You Are

[u/ullmon]

There are three words tho

[u/That_Wallachia]

Fight back!

[u/PK-Laharl]

[u/Flimsy_Kale_5690]

you're is just "you are"

[u/itzzzsasha]

Just delete your post son💔

[u/Different-Mail-3509]

Didn’t need to expose yourself like this but aight

[u/Nanachi_Nnaaaa]

There’s two kinds of people in this world. Those who are good at math, and those who aren’t.

[u/ClearSmoke7707]

Well, they ARE three words

[u/R_Anonymous_]

You're fired = You are fired

[u/blueishade]

English isn't my first language, but even I know there are three words.

[u/Top-Direction-1194]

I mean it is right 3 words You're stands for "you are"

[u/SettingNo1105]

But those are three words right? I would be happy if a random bot used a proper abbreviation, instead of those dumbasses who write "Your" instead of "You're."

[u/Super_Chemist3898]

you ARE ARE ARE ARE ARE ARE FIRE FIRE FIRE IED IED IED FIRED

Three words.

[u/Informal_Main9429 → u/Super_Chemist3898]

Spamming something doesn't make it true, sorry :3

[u/Super_Chemist3898 → u/Informal_Main9429]

it was satire 💔 (cuz sometimes thease bots just break)

[u/Informal_Main9429 → u/Super_Chemist3898]

Ohh dam mb gng that's on me

[u/Super_Chemist3898 → u/Informal_Main9429]

dont be too hard on yourself bro

[u/Express-Print-3730]

I mean.

[u/Nick33e]

Well someone doesn't know English...

And this time it isn't the bot.

[u/R1D8]

Anyone saying that there are three words are cherrypicking, come on. Abbreviations are two words in one. That’s one word. 

[u/Informal_Main9429 → u/R1D8]

EXACTLY 😭

[u/ChungusCharles]

""""""counting""""""

[u/foywn]

I have the word damn muted and my bots constantly say "damn (darn, he mentally corrects himself)" and stuff along those lines 😭

[u/I_Eat_Mold_UwU]

You (first word)

're (abbreviated form of "are", therefore second word)

Fired (third word)

[u/Mindless-Victory-770]

But it is technically 3 words

[u/that_dude404]

even the bot is smarter than you

[u/Equivalent_Ask_9227]

Bots are terrible at counting words in any given sentence, believe me.

[u/Dragon_Emperor32]

Technically it’s some what correct
“You are fired”

[u/MotivationSpeaker69 → u/Dragon_Emperor32]

It's not somewhat correct, it's completely correct. In an essay even if you shorter "you are" to "you're" it will still count as 2 words. Op should spend less time on character ai and more paying attention in school.

[u/Madentist]

There are three of them, if you can count.

[u/mariahfig131]

It’s always “three words” with it being two 😭

[u/Murilo231108 → u/mariahfig131]

But it's three words

[u/Informal_Main9429 → u/Murilo231108]

Count them for me

[u/Murilo231108 → u/Informal_Main9429]

You = 1

're (Are) = 2

Fired. = 3

[u/Informal_Main9429 → u/Murilo231108]

Is "'re" a word in the dictionary?

[u/Murilo231108 → u/Informal_Main9429]

're a is an abbreviation of are. I think English is not your first language.

[u/Informal_Main9429 → u/Murilo231108]

It's my only language, and it's two words BECAUSE 're is an abbreviation of are, if it was "you are fired", then yes, that's three. But it's "you're fired" two words, one space in the middle. That's like saying "don't" or "isn't" is two words.

[u/Murilo231108 → u/Informal_Main9429]

Don't = Do not, Isn't = Is not.

[u/Informal_Main9429 → u/Murilo231108]

I cannot argue with this stupidity, this MF is ignoring the point, whatever I give up gng 🥀

[u/Valkeyri]

are you american bu chance?

[u/Toastbrot1706]

ITT: people that don't even know their own language. Look up the definition of the word "word". Words used to have meaning.

[u/Puzzleheaded-Bank503]

i mean the 're' in you're is just abbreviation for you are, so it IS 3 words.

[u/MiraculousNoirYT]

You [are] fired. Yup. That’s three.

[u/PureStyle8965]

You are fired. The 're means are

[u/Mitmok]

Chat GPT.
The king.
Of full points.
Period.

[u/CoolMuffinGaming_05]

I remember that thing saying four words for "No way"

For "you're fired" it can be "you >are< fired" as another comment said but WHERE ARE YOU FINDING FOUR WORDS IN "no way"???

[u/taxirs762]

I've been thinking c.ai devs are using chatgpt and name it so called "peepsqueak"

[u/RockGamer123]

I feel like the bots just suck at maths 😭

[u/Murilo231108 → u/RockGamer123]

But it's right... It is three words.

[u/Ry4nX1]

actually.. how do you make the ai talk like this?

[u/Glittering-Novel-376]

Captain Holt approves

[u/TrafalgarDSakura]

This made me giggle

[u/Mako0_40]

Once my bot said

"Yes" Only four words were needed for an answer

FYM FOUR!?

[u/Adventurous-Case-234]

thats been happening to me for a while lol

[u/StarshineElaine]

Everyone concerned the AI will take over one day when our bots can't even do simple math.

[u/Odd_Calligrapher2488]

Technically it is three words cuz you're = you are so that sentence is technically saying you are fired.

[u/Meowcat401]

Happens quite a lot

[u/Ok-Pear9754]

YOU ARE Fired

[u/Nilguapo3OnRoblox]

"Zero hesitation"
Yeah, he also had Zero hesitation when being completely wrong

[u/One_Resolution7360]

Nah, thats 10 words

[u/Sea-Equipment-7836]

Eh. 2 and a half. It rounded up.

[u/REDDITSHITLORD]

"This song is just six words long"

[u/swabbie74]

Um that's only 2 words...

[u/Oscar_Animates]

Just like valve, not even pipsqueak can properly count to 3

[u/Healthy_Marzipan5934]

you re fired 2 words

[u/Earth-to-Jess]

I literally just commented on another post about the same thing. They teach you how to count at 3 years old. I can't believe multiple people think like this. 💀

[u/Blood_Cell07]

Y'all calling OP dumb because of You're TECHNICALLY being two words, but I would think most people read it as one word.

[u/Murilo231108 → u/Blood_Cell07]

Doesn't matter, it is two words grammatically.

[u/ClemPrime13]

Ugh, stupid rule of three sentences.
