☆  real-life example  実例

============================

This week’s useful phrase is a real-life example of the word, “real-life example” in use! Ha ha! It is “You need a real-life example to help you explain it better.” This is so true! Real-life examples really help. Recently, I’ve noticed a lot of “strange” English on the web. A lot of native speakers make mistakes between “you are” and “you’re” and “your”. And also, “their” or “there” or “they’re.”

However, something new that I have seen really confuses me! People have started writing “his” instead of “he is” or “he’s” … and to be honest, I’m not sure if it is an actual mistake, or if they have never learned that “he is” becomes “he’s” not “his”. Is that possible?? Is it possible that young native speakers of English have never seen a real-life example of “he is” becoming “he’s”?? Otherwise why would you think “his” is the same meaning??

Whenever I see someone using “his” instead of “he’s” you can see a real-life example of “smh” … you can see me “shaking my head.”
