She's a real one.
Greta Thunberg is the next generation of Bernie Sanders. Protect and cherish her.

Learn basic grammar, FFS.
No need to be rude about it, though.

There is no such thing as basic grammar, FFS. If you knew what they meant then they conveyed their meaning perfectly and you are being needlessly rude. Unless you are grading a paper that has specific requirements for Standard American English(TM) there is absolutely no reason to be a cock about someone else's perfectly expressive language.
“we regularly demand of people that they suppress or deny the most effective way they have of situating themselves socially in the world”—their language (Lippi-Green 2011, p. 63). Institutional function often depends on a particular set of beliefs about how language, especially the standard language, works. Lippi-Green and others refer to this set of beliefs as the standard language ideology, defined as “a bias toward an abstracted, idealized, homogeneous spoken language which is imposed and maintained by dominant bloc institutions and which names as its model the written language, but which is drawn primarily from the spoken language of the upper middle class” (Lippi-Green 2011, p. 64; see also Agha 2007).

Plagiarism is a bad thing
Including plagiarising the dictionary
Or maybe its because they're english is there second language and they could care less on lemmy, at least less then commenting.
Edit: bring the downvotes! I win, you loose.
"Could of" instead of "Could've""Could have" is not a typical mistake people make that have English as their second language.
Citation needed*
The fact that you think this needs a citation shows that you are a native speaker.
These might be no high quality sources, but it shows that it is something that non native speakers find weird:
Yeah those are not citations to the point, they are anecdotal at best.
I'm not a native speaker, my first language is french, and I used to make that mistake, which is why I brought it up. Get over yourself, there's no way to say "that's not a mistake they would make".
"This error is more disruptive for natives than non natives" doesn't mean what you think it means. Sure maybe it's not as frequent, it's not a basis to assume anything, or to say "I'm a native speaker".
If you feel outraged by her detention then be aware that thousands of people you've never heard of have suffered the same fate.
I hope she has a big glass showcase full of pictures of her being carried out by various police officers.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Greta Thunberg was forcibly removed by the Swedish police for blocking the entrance to parliament for a second day along with a few dozen other climate activists.
Ms Thunberg, who was in a sit-down protest against “political inaction” over the spiralling climate crisis, was picked up by two police officers and dragged away from the parliament building.
“The climate justice movement has, for decades, been repeating the same message over and over again, like a broken record, and we feel like we are not being heard,” Ms Thunberg told the Associated Press.
This week’s protests came as the EU Environment Agency released its first-ever continent-wide assessment of the risks of the climate crisis, warning members states to prepare for its “catastrophic” impacts.
“Hundreds of thousands of people would die from heatwaves, and economic losses from coastal floods alone could exceed €1 trillion per year,” the report warned under a pessimistic projection of warming trends.
A UK court acquitted her last month for obstructing the entrance to a major oil conference after the judge ruled that there wasn’t enough evidence to convict.
The original article contains 378 words, the summary contains 181 words. Saved 52%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
keep on making them roll that dice.
Greta was flexing that keffiyeh when it was still unpopular. She's a real one.
And she was not in a good mood.
Nice to see someone who understands how to protest instead of the dip shits blocking ambulances and defacing paintings in the UK.
When will they learn.
Who is "they" in this instance?
The police, they are literally working against their own interest when they arrest her. I probably should have clarified that.
They won't. The police exist to protect the interests of the state, so as long as the state doesn't give a shit and continues to pay sufficient renumeration to those willing to exercise unjust power over their fellows then... yeah.
what difference is she making
More of a difference than you're making, I fucking guarantee it

Oh, and here is a PhD thesis where you can see in chapter 5.2 "Error processing cost" that this type of error is more disrupting for non native than for native speakers.
