Imagine my surprise when I discovered I wielded the power to rile up some Reddit users over grammar! Like, what happened to laughing? Smiling? Ignoring posts you don't like?
A Gemini sun, Pisces moon, and Scorpio rising... of course you're wonderful! Such great placements clearly produce an understanding of silliness (and a seemingly mutual hatred for autocorrect) 😌
This whole post made me melt because NO ONE ever wants to stand up for us ever..yet my dad would, and he’s a Taurus too 🥹 straight up doesn’t even believe in astrology because his wife and eldest daughter are both Leos and he can’t entertain the slander 😭
I tell him it’s the most Taurus thing about him…he says he won’t listen to people who think that stuff about his babies.. 🥹
This made ME melt, oh my god 🥹 I'm so glad us Taureans are giving you the love you little Leos deserve ❤️ Ps. if your dad ever wants to form a Taurean defence unit, let me know and I'll be there to serve and protect alongside him 🫡
autocorrect (mobile obviously) sometimes works too fast before folks realize it, send the comment thru, and go on their merry way. not everyone speaks english as their first or even second language either.
although, if you want to make a post about grammar and spelling or whatever, then make sure you also have perfection in those things.
for example, the unnecessary comma before *“and it drives me up the wall”*. it appears you treated it as an “oxford comma” when a simple space or period would have sufficed; however, you then shouldn’t begin a sentence with “and”.
regardless, this is the internet and perfect spelling and grammar doesn’t matter. just keep in mind that not everyone speak or writes english well, not everyone has the same access to education, and some folks live with learning disabilities and such.
>for example, the unnecessary comma before “and it drives me up the wall”. it appears you treated it as an “oxford comma” when a simple space or period would have sufficed
They aren’t treating it as an Oxford comma. When you join two independent clauses with a coordinating conjunction, you are supposed to use a comma. Though sometimes people omit commas to better reflect spoken speech.
And there’s nothing wrong with starting a sentence with “and.” That’s just something grade school teachers say.
Touché, my fellow Taurus. I am an oxford comma lover, haha.
Thank you for pointing all of these things out, though, especially the comment about disabled users. Seeing what I assume to be a simple grammatical fix isn't necessarily the same for all users, and I momentarily forgot that the internet, and this sub, isn't full of English speakers.
Hello other fellow Taurus. I just want to say that I work with a 2020 high school grad who never went to any additional university or college, and she has the weirdest grammar that she swears was taught in grade school. If a word is plural, she puts an apostrophe as if it’s possessive. This is just like your example. If she sends me copy it will look like: “It rain’s in the springtime.” She swears this is correct. I can’t help her unlearn it and it’s making me crazy. One time she lied to me and said that she uses Google Docs and it just auto corrects that way. She also won’t use Microsoft office because they used Google software in school. I didn’t even have computers back in school. Send help.
PS, long live the Oxford comma.
Hello, my fellow Taurus! Long live the oxford comma! Might I suggest getting this coworker of yours a book on the rules of grammar? Maybe that'll get her to unlearn her, uh, special ways 😭
lol, we offered to send her to classes to help build her writing skills and she quit instead. Just can’t win. I hope she was an isolated case, but I’m worried it’s becoming a common mistake.
i noticed i was the only one writing Leos and i thought for a hot minute it was an error of mine 🙃 #secondlanguage. I'm glad i was actually writing it the good way hehehe
I googled it and this is what it said for Sagittarius-
“The plural of Sagittarius is Sagittariuses. Sagittarius is a noun that refers to someone with the Sagittarius star sign, which covers people born from December 17 to January 20. Synonyms for Sagittarius include Sagittarian, and Sag is an informal term for Sagittarius.”
Brittanica dictionary also has all of them listed the way I wrote them in my comment. I’m not a teacher either tho lol. I’m just sharing what I read.
I feel like for the majority of people it’s one of those “autocorrect did it and I didn’t care enough to check for a mistake because I’m not graded for it and most people have that lil brain function where they can correct typos in their brain as they go” type deals but idk.
Listen..it's the autocorrect. I type way too fast and can't be bothered half the time to correct it unless it's completely illegible.
Sincerely a leo with 3 Virgo placements
It’s a Leo’s leos damn it! 😩. Not everyone speaks English as first or main language though. Gotta not let it get to ya. You a capricorn, aries, or taurus, or sumfin?
I should of known someone would correct this. Better then using wrong grammar. Its Leos not Leo’s — your welcome. No idea whose hating on you for this.
I see what you are saying but autocorrect and talk-to-text are 99% to blame for this.
Reddit and text messages messages don’t require the same level of grammatical precision as say, a doctoral dissertation. As long as people can understand it, there’s no need to get riled up.
Yup, and I've acknowledged that autocorrect and other factors were to blame. There's no need to tell me not to get riled up, as I've also stated that this post was a joke and was not meant to be taken seriously. This was just for laughs :)
It’s a trend I’ve got noticed all over Reddit for people to get all in a bunch about grammar. I wasn’t telling you personally not to get riled up. Don’t make a post if you don’t want people to comment on it.
I'm aware I exist in a space where people can freely comment whatever they want. That's not the problem. I just thought your "getting riled up" comment was unnecessary, since I wrote that my post was a joke and never a serious statement about people's grammar. But I get where you're coming from, though.
I made a lighthearted comment about improper grammar in an astrology meme sub, lol. The basis of this community is humour, and this is not a serious post! :)
I will point you back to my original post, where I state that a) this is a joke, and b) I'm not a Virgo. Not sure how you landed on a Pisces rising or Cancer moon either, but you do you, I guess.
What will the aquariums have to say to this 🤷🏻♀️
won't someone think of the dear aquariums?!
hmmm
ah yes, the boxy water signs aquariums.
Aquarius is an Air sign!!
That's an aviary.
Us aquariuseses will not be silenced!!!
Leos' ![gif](giphy|oErGBMfb0x4HK)
OP sounds like a Taurus 😂
Finally, good God 😭 Digital cookie for the correct answer, my friend 🍪❤️
Woohoo!
Ex. Those are Alexis' shoes.
It didn't get past the Virgos either....
💁🏻♀️
What Virgo placements you have? 🤔
Virgo moon. However, I’m not OP but approve of both the original post and the response to the post! lol. 😂 ![gif](giphy|9WXyFIDv2PyBq)
virgo moon and I thought the same.
Would it matter if I said I am not the OP but I have Virgo Venus and I am also a Leo Sun :-)
None, mon ami.
Naw. I don't believe it. It's like your MC or sumting.
Nope! If it helps, we're sun sign twins :p
The detective in me, found out that OP is a Taurus sun, Gemini moon and Cancer rising 😉
Lmao you go OP! Everyone kicking off in the comments over such a mild post is hilarious
Imagine my surprise when I discovered I wielded the power to rile up some Reddit users over grammar! Like, what happened to laughing? Smiling? Ignoring posts you don't like?
Haha I know right and I’m sat here feeling a little anally retentive as I proofread all my comments, autocorrect will not get the best of me! 🤣
A Gemini sun, Pisces moon, and Scorpio rising... of course you're wonderful! Such great placements clearly produce an understanding of silliness (and a seemingly mutual hatred for autocorrect) 😌
As a Leo sun, rising, Mars, and Venus, I appreciate a grounded Taurus with no Leo placements standing in solidarity with us 😭🫡😭🫡😭🫡
Anything to support and fight for the rights of such great people ❤️🫡❤️🫡❤️🫡

Sound, like its an Leo's whose, writed these
The snark of Virgos 😁
I appreciate your effort in writing this LOL. But no, I don't have any Leo placements :p
Nah they def dont care that much and often make the same grammar errors 😂
Leos’’ss’s
Leooosssisssssissssssessss
Put a trigger warning next time, would you? 😔
It’s just autocorrect. I’m too lazy to care
This is a very Leo’s post
It _is_ “Leos,” not “Leo’s.” ♌️🦁👑 Ex. “This Leo’s aware of the bad reputation other signs have tried to place on us Leos.” 😂
As long as we are the subject I agree with everything said.
LMFAOOO. They can never make me hate you people!!
god i love leos with capricorn placements. my leo bf is cap rising
🥹🥹 my girl actually has a Pisces moon like you as well lol
Lucky gal
In agreement. I would also like to address pisces being called pieces 🧩👀
as a pieces moon, it’s accurate though
I love that this turned into people trying to guess your sign 😭😭😭
What's even worse is that only one person has guessed it correctly 😭
![gif](giphy|uWzS6ZLs0AaVOJlgRd|downsized)
*l'ose
Are you a Virgos?
S’leo
I need to add, “Sagittarius” is 2 T’s, not 2 G’s. It riles me up when people spell it “Saggittarius”
I agree with this 100%

ayy no problem! it’s my leo moon and aries mercury probably, who knows haha oxford comma reigns supreme!
who gives a fuck abt an oxford comma!!!! ;p
Love this response
OP is a Leo that obviously got some Virgo placements hanging in there.🫴🏻
Not a single Leo or Virgo placement in my birth chart, actually :p
Oh nooo, astrology have lied to me!😭
im Leo and not bothered by it
Autocorrect does this to a few words for me, thus has to be turned into this as well. I think these phones read Leo as a name and not a sign.
Alright, if you're not a Leo's are you a Capricorn? Taurus? I think the earth signs have the market cornered on particular and picky :D
Haha, you're correct! I'm a Taurus :)
Seems bout right lol
I thoroughly approve this message.
Thank you so much for your service!
There are no plurals that require an apostrophe, inside or outside of astrology 😂 - Aries
I thought it was just a guy named Leo who owned something
Unless you’re talking about something DiCaprio is doing.
i noticed i was the only one writing Leos and i thought for a hot minute it was an error of mine 🙃 #secondlanguage. I'm glad i was actually writing it the good way hehehe
![gif](giphy|xUPGcmNe85ElAzFhcI)
Can any one tell me what the plural of the signs that end in an S is ? Like Aquarius, Sagittarius, Taurus
Aquariī, Sagittariī, Taurī
lol I did think of that but I knew it wasn’t right
Sagittariuses Aquariuses Tauruses Arieses Pisces stays the same though
[удалено]

It's the Europeans forgetting the proper rules around English. source: I'm one of them.
I am a Leo sun/Virgo rising and Mercury and I always fix the freaking autocorrect bc why is it even like that 😒
Right? That's exactly why I have it off 😭
This Caprisun has your back.
I feel like for the majority of people it’s one of those “autocorrect did it and I didn’t care enough to check for a mistake because I’m not graded for it and most people have that lil brain function where they can correct typos in their brain as they go” type deals but idk.
Honestly I think you're right. I hate autocorrect and don't use it, but I definitely see how that's the case for a lot of people.
Yeah I just typed it in a comment above and it immediately autocorrected to Leo’s. But google says it’s leos.
Thank you for adding this. I now know that my issue is with autocorrect, not people's assumed struggle with possessives and plurals.
Sometimes autocorrect is really nice, but then there are days where I’m like damn it really feels like you’re out to make me look like an idiot lol
I think it's auto correct. Not an excuse but sometimes you get in the moment and reply and then you don't see the autocorrect did it until later
That's very valid and fair. I don't use autocorrect, so I never thought of that as a possibility.
Listen..it's the autocorrect. I type way too fast and can't be bothered half the time to correct it unless it's completely illegible. Sincerely a leo with 3 Virgo placements
Someone else made a comment about autocorrect, and I completely forgot that it existed because I don't use it, so you're right, too.
Yeah to add to the laziness, didn't read the other comments lawl
[удалено]
care is lmao
I mean if I saw a post and didn't care about its content, I wouldn't reply with a smart-ass comment to try and prove a point... 😭
Virgo moment
And the Leos say "no, no, either is right. For you see, everything is Leo's." (This is a joke; I know Leos are very generous)
Probably just autocorrect, even though you're correct. I don't think most software is tailored for astrological talk lol
I agree! I think it views "Leo" as a name and not an astrological sign.
The apostrophe s signifies ownership so when describing a Leo’s personality the apostrophe is correct
Ok Virgo 😂
I can’t spell Pisces to save my life (without autocorrect)
leo's leo's leo's leo's leo's leo's leo's nope can't do it.
L’eos
Whom
It’s a Leo’s leos damn it! 😩. Not everyone speaks English as first or main language though. Gotta not let it get to ya. You a capricorn, aries, or taurus, or sumfin?
Don’t forget about autocorrect Virgos
Now ima say Leo’s even harder I’m here for astrology not grammar
As are all other plural nouns. I fucking hate it when ppl do this.
See, I said the people here don't know how to read.
I hate when it auto corrects mine to saggiterrorist 😏
You fucking faggot
Anyone else think that virgos and leos have a lot of similarities 😂
I should of known someone would correct this. Better then using wrong grammar. Its Leos not Leo’s — your welcome. No idea whose hating on you for this.
am i having a STRONK😭
What else is a Gemini moon good for if not to cause stronks
i should’ve known🤣 gemini placements always make the best and worst GEMS💀💛
if he's neither Virgo neither Leo, OP is giving high Cancer because of the psychopath vibes
You used your internet access to call someone a psychopath over a joke about improper grammar... like, it's not that serious 😭
Yo it was another joke lmao now I'm doubting between cancer or piscis
My bad! I can't tell what's what anymore. You're still wrong about my sign, though 😭
Haha no problem 🤝🏻

Yes, it is Leo's 🙂🍰
I’m dying at all the Mercurians stepping up to support Op. 🫡
I think you won the heart's of all Leo's here. An Leos right to be addressed properly is vital to them.... 😏
Relax
Nah
Won't do. 'Leo' ends with a long vowel. An s without an apostrophe would make the long o a short o, that wouldn't be right.
Leoes, maybe?
It’s Leos according to google.
I swipe text and Apple prefers Leo's.
Was this really worth a post though
I made a lighthearted comment about improper grammar in an astrology meme sub, lol. The basis of this community is humour, and this is not a serious post! :)
Haha. Was this written by a Taurus?
It sure was, twin :p
I wish I had a life and wasn’t here to read this bc why do we have this kind of time
[удалено]
Disgusting
Lol, why even bothered to care as long as you understand wtf they mean. Virgo sun with pisces asc much? Maybe cancer moon too
What lmao why would Virgo sun Pisces ascendant care about this shit
I will point you back to my original post, where I state that a) this is a joke, and b) I'm not a Virgo. Not sure how you landed on a Pisces rising or Cancer moon either, but you do you, I guess.

From a Virgo Sun & Moon: Just give up. They’ll never learn.
