As a grammar and language Messerschmidt I hate how correct and elegant this is:

> If those who correct can’t or won’t explain why one is correct over the other, then it simply isn’t.

I will try to remember this and also execute it with kindness and trivia, like you suggest, in the future.

Thank you.


It's profoundly annoying that it's correct, isn't it! Every time I wince at reading something that feels wrong I have to remind myself that it’s ultimately only wrong because of convention.

(I do occasionally slip, and correct its/it's, your/you're or they're/their/there in someone's comment, but only if that comment is aggressively or nastily calling someone else stupid.)


Ha! I guess I'm less human than expected, and finally I understand why I've failed sooooo many CAPTCHAs over the years :)

Thanks, I really never knew!

Add (a component or accessory) to something that did not have it when manufactured.

What did you think it meant?

Strålande! Well done :)

"Fitta" is sort of like "cunt" in Swedish & .se is the TLD of Sweden.


The Swedish Scunthorpe problem ...


I disagree...

Actual intelligence might be[0] to know what typos (of any kind) are fun to riff off.

Maybe this didn't hit the mark for you, but it got a chuckle out of me (especially considering the last hype before AI was crypto).

For now, but then again they weren't going to show ads at all according to ppl in this topic.
