PSA: OK, this needs to stop!

Easy. What else you got.

 

It was a satenmet, not a calnlhege, dfuoos.

 

I see what you did there.

 

Be pacific.

 

Gixxer

 

That too

 

Boom. I thought it was just me.

 

It needs fixed.

 

I think every state has a town named Versailles.
Indiana has a town Galveston, but they pronounce it Gal veston.

 

Never lean on a lien.

I figured I'd bring this back because of a few things.

Break and brake are two different things. It doesn't matter if you use them as a verb or a noun, they are different. Stop using them incorrectly!!! If you have new brakes on your bike that is a good thing and if you have new breaks on your bike, it is a bad thing. See, different.

Next, damp and dampen are not the same word and do not mean the same thing. I don't care if some hipster/ millennial dictionary ( urban or otherwise) says that either is correct, that isn't true. GD it words have meaning and I am sick and tired of stupid or lazy people using the wrong words often enough that it becomes acceptable. damp is a physics term that has a clear definition with regard to waves and oscillations. Dampen also has a clear definition and is used in reference to liquids and solids. These are not the same things at all.

And don't be blaming this on auto-correct, that just excuses laziness and failure to proof read before posting. These continuous displays of ignorance and stupidity are tiresome and annoying and I demand that people stop. Use the correct word or don't write anything. I hate stupid!!!

The End
P.S. Whether and weather are also two different words as are your and you're. Try and get those right (rite), too (to).

 

Nice rant. You sound like some of the old guys in the newsroom.....

 

I get what your trying to say but weather someone uses damp or dampen we all no what their talking about, weather they use the write word or knot.

Yule never get these idtios to use the correct word when needed. Most of them didnt go to a dominate university.

 

Most write like their 3rd grade English teacher quit mid-year, and never came back for 4th-12th grades.

 

Why cant y’all jess accept us as we are?

 

Whether.

 

Honestly, I could care less.
