Was not expectingthis to drop one year after it's ending

 

[Juggernautbob]

Yeah I saw that coming, still hilarious though.

 

[unyin]

at first I thought "shouldn't it be 'can I keep you company'?", then I realized "ah, key phrasing there"

“Keep you company” = hang out with someone so they’re not alone. Simple.
“Keep your company” = sounds like you're tryna babysit their business, not their feelings.
One’s about being there for a person. The other’s about owning stocks or some CEO-level stuff. 😂 Don't mix ‘em up, English be wild like that.

Also, technically, "Can I keep your hanging out with me?"

Maybe but it wouldn’t be proper grammar thus it would be open to misunderstanding

Unusual choice of words, yes. Ambiguous against more common wording? Uncontested. But not proper grammar? No. Hence the "technically".

For the intended purpose it would be considered improper grammar if it was left ambiguous

I realize I should previously have said "correct". Either way, why are you repeating exactly what you already said, just with different words? There was nothing new, nothing clarifying, nothing correcting over what I said in response, so, what's really bugging you?

And to be honest, you're starting to annoy me with your assertions and weasel wording. Maybe it's time to establish some definitions. Considered improper how? Considered by whom?
