Fun observation: as a native, just like many natives, you have made a grammer mistake. "have known" and not "have know". Might be a typo though.
My fun theory is that grammer is just a form of heuristic made up by humans to simplify understanding languages.
I'm not a native.
I love a good case of Muphry's Law.
*grammar
Was this one intentional ?
*Murphy's Law
Intentional.
TIL
Haha good catch!
I think there are even a few grammatical errors that native english speaking people are more likely to be doing that us folks who learned it as a second language.
When I see things like "should of", "would of", "for all intensive purposes" it's usually coming from a native speaker.
I think someone who learned speaking the language before first and writing it second is more likely to make these.
I assimilated "should", "have" and "of" before I really used contractions, so I never make that mistake.
It's even somewhat jarring to read.
should of... of what?
Ah, dammit. Yeah, that was a typo :).
