        This same dude came into a programming subreddit earlier and got dragged for their shitty uninformed opinions there too. I’d say they’re a troll, but they got big mad and deleted their comments after a while, so I think they’re just an edgy teenager or something.

      Taught**

      • teach: (present tense) incorrect in your comment cuz u real beeg dum
      • taught: (past tense) correct in your comment, if you want to know if someone previously gave them the knowledge
      • teaches: (3rd person singular present tense) correct in your comment if you want to know if someone gives them this knowledge in the future.

      do you even participle bro? I feel bad after this, I’ll buy you a tshirt, do you want “singular for life” or did you have a better idea?
