Idk about where you're from but it's been curve OR curb for years at this point. How you can somehow make a statement on ignorance out of your own ignorance is poetic in a way.

I've never heard someone use curve in this way, and I've been on the internet for quite a while.

Surprise! The Internet isn't the only place people converse and it's not homogeneous either.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yes, but it's the only place I converse with people whose first language is English.

Which is fine. That doesn't mean one or the other (curve vs curb) is more correct, English is a living language and as such constantly changes.

Edit: I'd also like to re-emphasize that the internet is not homogeneous.

Or one is wrong and people need to stop using it instead of being ignorant. Like saying I itched myself. Tacky.
