    If you knew anything, you’d know this isn’t the reason why getting vaccine approval takes so long. It takes so long because there’s a mountain of bureaucrats, lawyers, researchers, and money required to get stuff moving along. Vaccines are pretty low the totem pole for companies and the government to give a shit about, since they’re usually about prevention and not treatment. Companies and the government can’t throw everything at a vaccine to approve. The only reason the covid vaccine was streamlined was because, you guessed it, we were and are in a global pandemic. Nothing about the approval of vaccines was abnormal, it still took nearly 2.5 years.

    It’s about context, my guy. As a non-native speaker, you’re probably not making the same English speaking “mistakes” as natives. If you’re correcting native speakers about English as a non-native, you’re probably going to be more often wrong than right, and since you don’t know societal context, that’s really bad too. You people have to stop dumbing shit down and ignoring all the context with everything.

    You’re not an English teacher, right? You’re not speaking to your kids, right? You’re just having regular conversations with people, right? If you want to beat rules into people who don’t speak like you do, you might actually be full of hate and ignorance and you’re probably racist, that is 100% correct.

    A total of zero people are confused when someone says “supposably” instead of “supposedly.” All you think about is how you or someone else you know was corrected and made fun for speaking “wrong.”

    Also, “correcting” peoples pronunciations has a deep-rooted history in oppressing minority groups, e.g. “ask” vs. “axe.” You’d know this if you weren’t full of so much hate and ignorance.

    If you know what they mean, who cares? Does it give you an erection to “correct” people when literally everyone knows what the person means? You’re not winning any brownie points being a wannabe middle school English teacher. You’re just an insufferable twat.
