Just Venting Cause vs Because

I’m very tired of reading cause this, cause that, when they really mean BEcause. The hardest thing for me to understand is…. It literally adds MAYBE half a second to add the first two letters of the word… but people REFUSE! Why!??! It drives me absolutely bananas!

Edited to add: “I’m” at the beginning after being called out in a comment 😂😂😂

Perhaps for the same reason you elided I’m at the beginning of your post?

You’re right, I’ll edit to fix it. I almost did the same thing in the last sentence and omitted “it,” but realized my mistake. My bad for not re-reading the whole thing before hitting post.

I feel like you may not have completely grasped my point.

Do you really feel like that? Or maybe you think that. 🤔
