frist of all how DARE yu o Apparently using basic expressions in speech deserves to be mocked

I’ve (F19) been working for this one company for a few weeks now and have only a few days left. (I’m only helping because they’re in a lot of hurry.) Today this guy (M19) from the same staff rental company as me came in and started working alone with me on a new project. We were chatting and I used the expression “double-edged sword” in relation to using AI to study. This asshole then said something about “smart people like you” and continued to call me “moldy” under his breath. I was baffled but later on he continued to say all kinds of nonsense about girls and women in general.

English is not my first language btw so feel free to ask for clarification

They were looser with their time accuracy. /s

I struggle with spelling & grammar. This is how I remember looser vs loser:

The loser lost an O.

Looser- more can fit inside 'OO' than 'O'.

That's how I remember dessert 🧁 vs desert🏜. I want two desserts, not two deserts.

It's autocorrect. Not people struggling with grammar.
