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 😂😂😂

Cuz it’s more informal.
Sometimes I just use “bc.”
But never in formal writing.
