    It’s “pasttime” that people “wakeup” to misusing compound words in place of word phrases!!!

    I may only be a trucker, but this headline today from a well-known online news outlet ground my gears:

    Miami could be underwater within 80 years, but rich people keep buying luxury waterfront homes — and local experts says there's a simple explanation for it

    Can you see the mistake in this sentence, the gross bastardization of the language with the increasing use of a compound word in place of a word phrase? Read this appalling liberal apologia to the corruption of our beloved American grammar heritage.

    https://grammarist.com/spelling/underwater-under-water/

    If you think it merely a typographical error, think again, because it occurs throughout the article, even featured prominently in bullet points.

    https://www.businessinsider.com/miam...erwater-2019-3

    Never! We must turn back — not “turnback” — the clock on the erosion of the purity of our great English language!

    To which I say to all fellow American English language patriots: MAGGA! Make American Grammar Great Again!

    never in my life have I witnessed someone use passtime like that. the word you're thinking of is pastime, as in "baseball is america's pastime" and that's a legit word, knuckledick

    the only real problem I have with illiterates is when they type "would of" "could of" "should of"

    Only if someone “mumblesbadly” would I complain, because that would be an inappropriate use of a compound word, which usually is a noun or adjective, or if capitalized, even internally so, a proper noun...

    But why am I needing to explain this to a Brit??? Don’t you buggers get a decent education over there??? Or has the education system over there gone to bloody hell as well?

    Millennials are at it again, destroying our precious language by misusing the compound noun versions of two-word verb phrases!!!
