Previous Entry  Add to memories!  Tell a Friend!  Next Entry
I was checking my friends page over at LJ, when at the top I spot a post by nyjoder over at stupid_free. After some link checking, I think I've got the gist of why "twatwaffle" has his knickers in a twist.

You see, stupid_free linked to a post over at thequestionclub where njyoder was being a dick informing the OP that her icon was most misleading. It didn't show, in his tactful words, "how fat you truly are." Needless to say, there is wank (and a mod smackdown), which is why it was on stupid_free.

But that's not the only thing that made it to the community, as everyone's favorite long-winded wonder shows up himself. He's determine to help the stupid people of the world understand the true meaning of "misleading":

mis·lead /mɪsˈlid/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[mis-leed] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation verb, -led, -lead·ing. –verb (used with object) 1. to lead or guide wrongly; lead astray. 2. to lead into error of conduct, thought, or judgment. –verb (used without object) 3. to be misleading; tend to deceive: vague directions that often mislead

Clearly, people with icons of anime characters and animals are intending to deceive people into think that they're not actually live human beings! And just look at all the people who fell into the deception...all, 0 of them. And people using real pictures of themselves on the internet that deliberately try to hide their ugliness? Not deceptive at all. People never try to do that anyway. Prediction: many stupid, unrelated and uncreative insults to this post, because they lack the ability to defend their ignorance of the word 'misleading.'


Did anyone defend their ignorance of misleading? I honestly don't know. Did everyone and their brother poke/mock the troll? You bet your sweet ass they did.

It was a typo. It happens to everyone.

I said that in an earlier post. I realize that not much penetrates that thick layer of self-serving smugness wrapped ever so tightly around your brain, but perhaps you'll be so kind as to reread that post until those words sink in.

I'm not saying you don't make typos. I'm saying that "eachother" is a typo. It is NOT a word. Until it is recognized as a part of the English language, it will NOT be a word.

As I said in my other reply, you don't seem to know what the word 'typo' actually means. Seriously, go look it up if you STILL think that it's a synonym for 'spelling error.'

Christ, should I even bother with someone who has such a poor vocabulary trying to educate me on vocabulary?

Okay then....


typo: an error (as of spelling) in typed or typeset material

What was that you were saying about looking things up?

Notice how the dictionary doesn't equate the two. You can look in the thesaurus, too, if you're still not satisfied. So the dictionary hasn't backed you up, what are you going to do now?

I'm sure you learned something simple regarding sets when you were young: "a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not necessarily a square."

So if I were to state, like you have here, that a rectangle and square are the same thing (as in synonymous), I'd be wrong.

Typos occur specifically in the context of _typing_ (duh). That's because they're errors rooted in the actual physical process of typing, rather than someone simply not knowing how to spell a word.

Consider yourself pwned.

Hm? You asserted that they were synonymous. You linked to a dictionary entry demonstrating that they weren't synonymous.

How am I grasping at straws again?

lol

If cookie_love declares it to be true, it must be so! He doesn't need to prove anything, he just declares it to be right!

So did the voices in your head also tell you that you're the God of truth?
