      This discussion was kinda interesting, but I feel like it kinda lost the plot after a while. Anyway, this is my kinda response post: funny, succinct, kinda antagonistic. Great work ddplf, you’re kinda my kinda people.

        It’s kinda like words have vastly different meanings depending on the context.

          Yes. That’s kinda my point. And in the context of human kind. We refer to it as “my kind of people” in writing.

          It shows that people don’t read books anymore.

              Please… Read the examples they give you in your link. It’s very obvious which “kind of” they refer to.

              The sequence of words are the same but the meaning is not.

              When you say “my kind of people” you are talking about your kin.

              Look, you are free to write however you want. I really don’t care. I just find it sad that people don’t know how or which words to use.

            Yes! I find it very sweet that you’ve seen through your errors and openly admit it! :^)

              Yikes… if that’s what you gathered from my comment. I feel sorry that your educational system failed you.
