    Thafuq is “governernance”? Also, it’s “different”, as the implication that they differ is already present —unless you mean that the set of documents you must’ve read are currently arguing amongst themselves.

      1. Clearly a typo
      2. A totally valid use of the word.
           /ˈdif(ə)riNG/
           adjective
           adjective: differing
      
           not the same as each other; dissimilar.
           "widely differing circumstances"
      
           dif·fer
           /ˈdifər/
           verb
           gerund or present participle: differing
      
           be unlike or dissimilar.
           "the second set of data differed from the first" ```
      
      So... "thafuq" kind of attitude is that to have about correcting someone?

        Eh. 🤷🏼‍♂️ The first sentence was meant in jest, and the rest was simply corrective. Sorry for the tone. Your tense is still wrong. (ie. -ing =/= -ent)

      The kind of guy that argued with his English teacher in 9th grade and never got past it.
