No he wrote “except” not “expect” and “except” sounds like “accept” so it’s better to assume that’s what he meant

Besides “expect” would also be wrong because Garou didn’t except god to show up, Garou didn’t even know if it’s existence

so instead assuming he made a slight lettering mistake, a classic error to make, he got the word entirely wrong?

Check his profile and his english, its seems he is pretty good at it.

Garou still was waiting for monsterization. Garou's ignorancy doesn't make this post wrong.

Wym waiting for monsterizarion, he was already about to give up at that point

And idk about you but people mistaking “except” and “accept” is a pretty common mistake among ESL people so it’s still a decent assumption here

Except and expect are completely different words in meaning and in how it sounds, hard to believe the OP would mess it up if they were good at English like you said, especially if you just read out the word you can tell it’s wrong

I've been noticing that it's usually native americans who mess up their own language. They are using it so much verbally in the day-to-day life that it makes them seem that the words they writing/typing are correct too, because they sound the same. Spoiler OP is north american.

ESL usually have problem with spelling and punctuation, or using words/expression that have no analogs in english or butchering it so much that you can clearly see that it's not a typo.

As an ESL myself spelling is a pretty big issue, I sound out the word and just type what I think it’s supposed to look like

I know back in school I would mistake accept and except quite a few times
