      ​@@ferretyluv I'm not a native English speaker and I'm still learning. Can you tell me, why I nowadays nearly only see of instead of have? Are these all typos?
      I keep asking myself this question.
      And also: why is the third irregular verb form hardly used anymore? It sounds so very wrong when I read for example: he should OF DID that, instead of could've DONE that.
      Is it cool, new, trendy?
      And all these their, they're, there, ...........
      What's going on?
      Thank you.

    • @LindaVernon
      @LindaVernon 7 месяцев назад +18

      ​@@Mintaka.You see the OF usage instead of HAVE because the words are usually contracted -- eg. could've. People hear that as "could OF'' not having read it. As that happens more and more frequently, it then shows up in writing as OF and so the usage changes. The same thing happens to "I COULDN'T care less." People who had never seen it written miss the "-N'T" of couldn't and say "I could care less" which is illogical, but it is what they believe they heard. The are other similar misses caused by mishearing and eventually usage changes. 🙂

    • @TheScandoman
      @TheScandoman 7 месяцев назад +2

      I think that is what she is saying when she just hits "Play!"
      I am trying to remember if I ever saw her hit "Play"-"(something)"...but I am getting too old...
      It's a little hard; gor a while, Kyra was responding too quickly...
      But, it seems to me that Billi understands that "Worm" and "Fan Toy" and "Zoom-zoom", etc. are all "Play", so she doesn't have to specify that...but, sometimes, with all the moving, she doesn't exactly know what is there, or she doesn't care, she can just hit "play"...

I had to learn cat body language and damn I still miss her and to me all calico cats are swoon beautiful! She wasn't my first cat , she wasn't even the first cat to pick me as their human but she was my first girl and we had years together. If could be I still have her here with me and all the others over the years . Not even to mind and taking pride in being the cRaZY cat lady. What an honor is how I'd see it. Damn death.

    Billi is so good at problem solving! She's clearly motivated to get her needs met quickly. My Pecan has that same zoom zoom and he absolutely loves it. It's his favorite toy, then his fishing pole. The problem is he ate the rubbery long part of the ball so now it's catching sometimes. He has pika so there's nothing he won't try to eat. I am so happy with that toy because it has a remote which is excellent for me as I have mobility issues.
