    Interesting that I can tell a non native speaker made this, or at least I assume so, I’ve never heard anyone say “where I’m now” instead of “i am”

      I’ve seen someone type out “it’s what it’s”, which is like…technically sound, but weird to read.

        I don’t recall the exact rules of emphasis in english, but IIRC contractions de-emphasise the verb, which sounds (and meaningfully is) off in a sentence that’s supposed to emphasise it.

    I opened this mindlessly and now I’m getting kinda fucked up over it. God damn.
