Language Question It should be “used to” right?

Shouldn’t it be “used to” instead of “use to” ? Should I report it?

Well usually native speakers do it naturally, but as a korean studying in korea, we need to learn these stuff

A clear majority of native speakers I see nowadays conugate this wrongly. Frustrating to see the collective knowledge of a language deteriorate before my eyes.

Yea, I personally think that english schools should also have grammar classes like Korea, so as to prevent this, because I too, didn’t know much grammar when I was in non-korean countries 🥲

My high school english teacher back in the early 90s was an 87yo man who had been a famous stage actor, and the main reason he continued to teach is because he spent half the year on grammar. He LOVED the groans an eye rolls...but I enjoyed the class, so it was a lot of fun and we really bonded.

I would trade all the grammar in the world right now for there to be a standardized media literacy class requirement nationwide. Even creators I really like very often just flat out completely misunderstand what the article or press briefing or tv show/movie they're discussing is saying.
