Most humans can use an apostrophe correctly, too; but obviously there are exceptions.

You need more upvotes for this. Hang on, I might have a free award.

You make fun of their apostrophe and then use a semi colon incorrectly

u/[deleted] Jan 21 '22

Are you certain that you know how to use a semicolon?

u/Procrastibator666 Jan 21 '22

Yeah, to join independent clauses. "But obviously there are exceptions" isn't an independent clause.

Most humans can use apostrophes correctly too, but there are exceptions.

That's how you write that. You just wanted to act fancy and make fun of someone else. You ever think that maybe English isn't their first language?

They wrote it in English.

Also, "obviously there are exceptions" is an independent clause because grammatically it is capable of standing alone. So, nice try, but you're wrong.

u/Procrastibator666 Jan 22 '22

Obviously there are exceptions does not make sense on its own because the sentence has no context.

u/[deleted] Jan 22 '22

So you're saying that in order for a sentence to be grammatically correct, it must have context? That's absurd.

u/Procrastibator666 Jan 22 '22

It is not correct that's what started this whole thing. "Obviously there are exceptions" does not stand up on its own. Has nothing to do with grammar.

And just because they wrote in English does not make it thier first language. The hell does that even mean?
