    Guess I’m the one in ten.

    Spent a good 30sec staring at the top line wondering wtf the writer was smoking before I read the bottom…

    I can’t say I’m not upset by this, but then I was taught violins is not the answer.

      Probably has to do with the degradation of written language. With kids using emojis more than words these days our writing is being reduced to a bunch of cymbals.

        While I don’t mean to harp and I’m not one to bassoon, but I’ve noticed moreso it’s boomers who fiddle around with emojis.

          I’ve noticed they seem to be the type to flute the law, but oboe do they hate being called out for it. They’re bongos, man, completely bongos.

      If you find it so disconcerting maybe you should report them and try to get them band.

      ich you have adhd and asperger or better, you might end up beeing trained by yourself for ignoring google’s, microsoft’s or other f’uped up so called “autocorrection” and ‘automatically’ overlook single mismatching words but recognize the sentence as a whole without actually reading it word by word. some can read entire pages with a single look on it without focusing on a a specific region or i.e. the center while still beeing able to later rephrase the content of the entire page.

      1up for all with special (dis-)Abilities!!

      Same, and I am moderately dyslexic. Enough so that I need to put more effort than normal into writing every word. Shame on everyone who missed it.

      I noticed right away, too. But I’m also a guy who frequently sends emails to people whose blog posts have a typo or obvious editing mistake so they can correct them. There are a few who thank me each time. Others might think I’m the most annoying type of person. I just know I hate when I miss a mistake in my own writing.

    As a dyslexic person this whole thread made no sense to me and is full of fuckery.

    I noticed it right away and was disappointed by the lack of a pun-chline

        The lack of a second mistake is the the second mistake. I don’t know if that is a paradox though.

          It’s a paradox because if you count it as a mistake, then there are two mistakes, so it’s not a mistake, so there’s only one mistake, so it is a mistake.

    I called my friend Andy “Amdy” for like two years before he noticed. This meme would work better spoken.
