Terribly sorry, I try not to be a pedant about these things, but this is major pet peeve of mine. Up there with people saying "anywho"

It's "lose".

Loose describes the screw I have

Lose is what I do with my mind on the daily

I love you anyway, have a great day

Mine is "hence why," I become irrationally irritated when I see it, but try to harbor no malice towards people I see using it.

Irregardless, we all have our peeves and foibles

Anywhere exists, anyhow exists.

Why the discrimination against anywho and anywhy??

Who can do it? Anywho can do it? Why can they do it? Anywhy they can do it?

NGL, I'm racist against "anywho" because my sister says it and she's super annoying. Is it unfair? Yes. Will I change? Never

[–] Peffse@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

alright boys, we have a mission to take out SirSamuel's sister so we can use "anywho" again.

I like anywho. It's whimsical
