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 |

'I dont really understand what the point of this thread was anyway'
the point is some people actually DO think that it makes them seem more fancy
it doesn't and i want to tell everyone that it never will and its stupid |

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 |
