minus-squareuplusion23@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·11 months agoYeah I was super confused too haha
minus-squareIlflish@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·11 months agoYou’ll be happy to see an example of it’s common UK usage
minus-squareEcho Dot@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down6·11 months agoI’m also not American. But autocorrect changed it to You’ll so I went with it. Anyway, I think it’s perfectly understandable from context.
