It should be ‘read well’, not good. ‘Good’ is an adjective and is always used with a noun. ‘Well’ is an adverb and is used to modify a verb, adverb or another adjective and answers the question ‘how?’. Since the verb is ‘read’ it would need the adverb ‘well’ to modify the verb.
proceeds to tell you that the way you used the words isn’t right, your grammar isn’t right, your spelling isn’t right, the way you eat cereal isn’t right, the way you drive isn’t right, the way you speak to your mom isn’t right, the way you dealt with that situation isn’t right, and your whole existence isn’t existing right
The difference between the US and Europe in this regard is that Europeans are a bit more discreet with their crazy people. EU have 3 times the population as the United States does, obviously they’re gonna have ~3 times more crazy people than we do. They just don’t talk much about it, while, in the US, the crazy people refuse to shut the fuck up
Edit: I mistakingly used EU instead of Europe when referring to a population of around 750 million. The EU does not have that population, but Europe, generally speaking, it does. That was my mistake.
Edit: yikes, a lot of crazy people disagree with me
Crazy vs. uneducated. Two different things. Not being able to read or not knowing how vaccines work is not a crazy person thing, it’s an uneducated person thing.
The education in the EU is better AND it’s free. That’s why there are less dumb people who are anti-vaxers and can’t read.
They are not more discreet. They actually just have better educated people.
Being better education also helps deal with mental health issues in addition to having free healthcare (although it’s lacking in the mental health department), so less people are actually going crazy and doing things like school shootings or voting for a rapist in the presidential elections.
Education makes a tremendous difference. Americans have mentally ill people probably at the same rate as EU, but also has ignorant people and that’s where the difference is made up. If you travel 3 hrs in USA, you’ll find the same culture. If you travel 3 hrs in Europe, you’ll be in a different culture altogether.

“y’know people are crazy y’all don’t know how to read your pronouncation is wrong that’s the wrong word that’s not right there’s like 4586k people there how about being mental huh we’re just quiet Americans suck”
Culture doesn’t have anything to do with intelligence. Also, no, driving 3 hours in the US will definitely get you to a different culture, likely a different accent even. It takes 3.5 hours to get from NYC to Boston…
Hardly surprising coming from a nation where a third of you think dogs can get autism and about half can’t read good

You uncultured cow. Watch it in its entirety.

I n eas hoping you just linked the whole movie for a minute.
I have no time to watch it now, apparently I am too concerned with my dog’s autism.
Unidan? In MY lemmy?
Congratulations on missing the point
That happens when the writer ain’t write good

Look, your mom deserves a break, that’s all. She put up with you for years when you couldn’t even feed yourself.
You are criticizing people’s reading while you are writing poorly. I think you are missing the point.
EDIT: Oh I guess I am missing the point? Didn’t recognize the reference.
It’s a satirical pop-culture reference to a scene from the movie Zoolander and completely intentional.

EU ~450 million, US ~350 million
We also don’t math too gooder.
I feel like people are just doing this now to annoy the person who commented on that one comment
I was thinking of the population of all of Europe, not just the EU. And I tend to use Europe and EU interchangeably. I probably shouldn’t do that.
Not your fault. Both are valid abbreviations for each other. Only E.U. would actually be concrete, but…
Saying the EU should be the European Union. Whereas just EU should signify Europe as you wouldnt say the Europe.
The context here made it obvious you meant Europe though, dont know how people missed that.
I think the EU is a beautiful thing, and sometimes I forget that not all of Europe agrees with me.
I assumed OP either did a typo or wasn’t a native English speaker
I have not encountered anyone referring to geographical Europe as “EU” before, that would be confusing!

It’s all education.
Less, but still dumb and crazy enough that fascism is allowed to get a foothold again.
I feel that you may be correlating untreated mental illness with a lack of education, and those are not the same things.
The initial commenter talked about not being able to read and thinking dogs can get autism.
You said this is a crazy people thing and Europe has just as many if them, but they are just more “quiet”.
I corrected you that this is an education thing and that is why Europe has less people who can’t read or think that dogs can get autism.
I also linked education and healthcare to having more mentally stable people.
Edit:
And the USA has more of both. More mentally ill people AND more uneducated people.
I suggest you get a dictionary and look up the word “nuance”
Edit: apparently, Europeans are just as capable of xenophobia and bigotry as Americans are. We have so much in common!
So unappealing facts now count as xenophobia? Are you gonna declare me a terrorist next for not agreeing with your opinion? Very American of you.
ayo chill
I’m sorry to hear of your troubles. Best wishes!
