There are many people in the state who just fake it until they make it.
Some of the grammar and spelling in company emails is just shocking.

Louisiana has historically faced low literacy rates, with approximately 72.9% of the population considered literate and roughly 27% of adults performing at or below Level 1 reading proficiency.

Nothing to do with Louisiana, it’s everywhere online. I’m not sure I’ve ever noticed it spoken.

But the same question can be asked of “biased.” And I have heard that mistake made both verbally and written. Always just “bias.” Both drive me crazy.

Tigerdroppings posters as a whole are probably in the top 5% of the state in literacy.

That should frighten everyone.

Oddly, I’ve not noticed this one much.

The one that gets me is when folks comment “sorry for your lost” in response to someone’s passing instead of “sorry for your loss.” This will never make sense to me.

The other really offensive one is when they add the good old “apostrophe s” to the name of a place or business. For example, “We went to Kroger’s” instead of “We went to Kroger.” It automatically makes me think you must be some kind of an idiot.

Also…

This is accurate. It gets so much worse than TD.
