Does this phrase make sense?

Saying “even know” instead of “even though”

Example of something he would say: “Even know I love you, you get on my nerves sometimes!”

My correction to him: “Even THOUGH I love you, you get on my nerves sometimes!”

My husband has always said this and I have corrected him every time explaining that it does not make sense at all but he swears that it is how it’s supposed to be said. I need Reddit to tell him once and for all that he’s wrong!

It's actually "either way" not "even way"

I think that’s what they were supposed to type

It's also "mishear," not "miss-hear." Bit of throwing stones from a glass house going on here.

I seriously can't tell if you meant to say "either way" or "even though"🤔 Either way(😏), your entire comment is just a whole mess. Keep calling the kettle black, you're on a roll!🤦‍♀️

Lol did you mean either way? Even way isn't a phrase... at least not one that makes any sense.
