Backstory: I was whining to my mom about a guy in my education course who is incapable of giving coherent explanations of his thoughts. We’re both sticklers for grammar, but apparently that’s not her only concern.
And he’s going to be a teacher. Btw, I wonder about your language skills when you use whore instead of whose. Or maybe it’s just that you use that word more often when texting. Nope, that’s not reassuring either.
Mom’s grammar is not great either! “Or maybe it’s just that you use that word more often when texting.” Try getting rid of “it’s just that”

I do not understand this one. Did mom mean “who’s instead of whose” and accidentally typed “whore”? If not, where did “whore” even come from?

Hey now. There is nothing wrong with people who are sticklers for good grammar. It’s our language; let’s use it correctly, please.
