That's the one pet peeve I still have to suppress in my greying years. Not just misspelling a word that's spelled correctly right there in front of you, but spelling it incorrectly in different ways in the same fucking post/email/correspondence. How do you misspell something several times in several different ways in one go, all while seeing it spelled correctly? Like, are you just guessing at random each time you try to spell the word, with no recollection of having already tried to spell it before?

Sadly it's not just an ESL thing. I've met a number of whites who somehow manage this too.
Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

*Cambridge University did no such study. This meme paragraph does show that reading isn't just about memorizing the spelling of words.

Personally I fuck up spelling because I read many older books, including middle english. It's only quite recently that spelling has become "rigidly" standardized.
 
My spanish is rusty but I thought I called her the fat bandit. Because lolfat. Do you think she smuggled the drugs in the fat folds?
I think the confusion is due to the fact that the fat bandit is also a genderblob, hard to tell if it's a fat woman or a fat man.

Either way, they can leave the country :)
 
These devices (autopens) have existed for over a century. It being the government, I could imagine their use hasn't been challenged in court all that time. But does it really need to be though?

Thomas Jefferson built one lol.

Gotta love that “It’s pregnant!”

Yes Paco. I’m sure it’s pregnant after you put an anchor baby into it.

It’s also blindingly obvious btw, that the only reason they busted the window open, was because Paco refused to open the door. And after likely being told a half a dozen times that they’ll use the ol’ window breaker unless he opens the door PRONTO.
These kind of people (and you can lump SovCits in with them as well) hope that the cops/ICE will just stop and go "well shucks what now?" and just leave when they screech about how they won't get out. It's a play that has worked exactly 0 times, so one has to wonder why they continue to try it. We know it always ends in a nice bill for a window replacement.

Meh. It's probably my computer science (and spelling bee nerd) brain doing it to me. I will say there's a certain satisfaction knowing the machines agree with me at least. Spell something two different ways in a piece of source code and your compiler/interpreter will just blink at you like you're an idiot and ask you what the fuck you're talking about.

Don Lemon: People love AOC, Jasmine Crockett, and Eric Swalwell. Democrats should prioritize putting them out there more.

Oh god yes please keep pushing that vapid, stupid bitch (and AOC too :story:). That's exactly the road to victory for you, democrats. Totally. I don't think I'll be able to handle that much laughter when they try, but god damn I'm eager to test myself.

Again it's less the autopen and more the fact that Biden Staffers may have been the ones signing everything for him without his knowledge. Even if he gave his approval to do so they can't sign pardons for him using an autopen that would mean it's not Biden signing the pardon.
 
Iran sent a panicked letter to the UNSC where it stressed that the Houthi are a completely separate government from Iran and that they have no responsibility for the actions of the Houthi



In response Trump has bombed the Houthi again and sent three aircraft carriers to the Middle East.
"You aren't responsible for them? OK cool, so then you won't mind if we carpet bomb them back to the stone age? Hell, let's bomb them back to the Jurassic!"
