What? Isn't "instead of" a pretty normal phrase? Would you prefer
"In __'s stead"
"In place of"
"Rather than"

people use the symbol ` as an apostrophe

its annoying even more because they think it makes you fancier and more educated

Instead of is how most people say ithat...

Instead of this, id do that

In english i kind of think of things as a level of specific or... "Good" words
Instead of seems like... Easy
No one seems "educated" when they say this

I dont really understand what the point of this thread was anyway

like i thought you were talking about the phrase "instead of"

Some peoples keyboards may not have the correct apostrophe or whatever but i doubt it
