making infinite verbs finite in clauses with auxiliary verbs
perplexes me how you can know English well enough to hold a conversation yet fuck that, of all things, up

my favourite EFL thing is when Americans use the wrong verb form in the perfect tense
>he shoulda ran

I think most people across the developed world use whatsapp. It's just anglos who use the default messaging app because they were mentally enslaved by Apple inc. And that only benefits americans. Australian, canadian and english culture are just extensions of american culture at this point

Isn't that how you write that in every country on earth except for usa?
>>
>>217194752
Civilized people put the currency symbol at the end. You say 'thousand dollars' not 'dollars thousand' so why the fuck would you put the currency symbol in the front ?
