People misspelling 'woman' annoys the hell out of me. It's literally 'man' prefixed by 'wo'. I don't know what bizarre process could lead to using 'women' instead. And it's nearly always these Andrew-Tate-loving pound shop alphas.

That and "should of" should be punishable by getting your hand cut off.

Read: "head cut off" and agreed. Sry for that.

Their not the only ones who should be punished!

I'd rather stub my toe then see such simple mistakes

The difference is that one is singular and one is plural. "Theres a group of women" and "Theres a singlular woman"

People do often get the usage wrong but its not being misspelled.

You misspelled Alfas.

I recall a particular time period in early-ish smartphone history when the stupid thing tried to correct every instance of woman in my emails to "roman" for some weird reason so that one might just be auto-correct gone stupid again.

I feel like this image has more to be upset about than misnumbering the word woman.

This type of thing sometimes happens to me when I'm writing a comment on my phone. The using a wrong version of a word, not the rampant misogyny. Its usually from changing how I wanted to structure the sentence, like changing tense or deciding to make something singular or plural, and not noticing that I missed updating one of the words.
