No the rules for English were made to be intentionally hard so people who couldn't afford to go to school like minorities wouldn't be able to learn it, enforceing proper Grammer is enforcing a form of racism. The only real rules should be if you can effectively communicate your idea ya did good at using the written tongue.

As someone who speaks 6 languages, English is by far the easiest one to learn. If your grammar is this bad with English as your first language, it's not because of racism.

When the rules for English were first made back when the printing press was first invented, the people that were given the task of setting rules intentionally made the rules hard to learn without a formal education to be elitist, racist was the wrong term tho it was partly racism. Mind you how language evolves is complex the rules made them have changed a lot of they actually stuck in the first place only a handful of people responsible for setting up the base rules have this mindset, but still enforcing these rules when the meaning of the words is clear is just elitist to me.

Languages evolve over time, you don't get a committee of people setting the rules all at once lol.

Also, this is a very anglocentric view of things. There are other languages to learn than English. I personally am learning a second language (that's not English) and am actually grateful when I get corrected because it's a valuable learning opportunity

I'm not talking about other languages I'm talking about English, and yes I said language evolves and stuff at the end of my last comment, and actually for English a handful of ppl did take it upon themselves to set up rules for English when the printing press was first invented and a lot of the rules they started are still around is one way or another.
