Well as someone who is always correct it isnt possible to actually be smarter than me. I would say we are about equals :)

@Pat

@trinsec

I'm starting to think you might be the smartest person on this server :)

@Pat

@Pat

That would still make me right only 50% of the time. If I am never corrected then I'm right 100% of the time.

@trinsec

@Pat

yea oddly enough some of the more advanced words I get right more often than the simpler ones.

@trinsec

@trinsec

I hate to be corrected. If I am corrected I cant say I'm always right anymore. Why would anyone want to be wrong!

@Pat

@trinsec I know everyword I am trying to say, and spell it perfectly. Its not my fault that the dictionary can't keep up with the latest spellings!

@trinsec

50% of the time my spelling is such a bastardization the spell checker has no idea what I am trying to say. the other half of the time my vocabulary is so advanced it doesnt even know the word I am trying to say.

@Pat

@wilmhit You send me a money order for $100 stating your name, account, social security number, and mothers maiden name. I will then issue you a check mark within 7 - 14 business days if you qualify.

The check mark will arrive packaged in a cushioned envelope by registered mail.

@Pat

I dont use spellcheckers. I dont need that kind of negativity in my life!

@trinsec

@trinsec

Thats ok, I'm usually crying when I post too, as well as any other time :)

@Pat

@trinsec

If i actually paid that much attention to my toots I probably wouldnt toot very often. Then you would cry all the time and I dont want to make you cry.

@Pat

@trinsec

I used to do that but with 20K some followers it pissed off a lot of people, way more than just keeping the typos.

@Pat

@trinsec

hahaha valid. Honestly if i could actually edit posts on here there would be a lot fewer of them. At least on matrix i will occasionally correct my mistakes. Here I see them but usually after i already posted and only once i reread it when going over replies.

@Pat

@Pat

I use your by default mostly because I type to fast and dont review what I write. Couple that with the fact that i got into the habit by typing on my phone where an apostrophe is a bit tedious. That particular error, as most of my errors, are largely due to not caring and typing as fast as I can since i dont find the medium to be critical for correctness.

My formal writeups, as well as my blogs, tend to have very few errors since I proof read them.

That said my natural rate of errors has been unusually high the last 2 years since my injury and COVID largely due to the extremely high levels of stress I've been under which seems to effect the prevelance.

@trinsec

@Pat

Hmmm dyslexia. I wish i had that "excuse" :)

@trinsec

@omniscion

You really do. And ignore trin, you should do it even if you dont want to!

@trinsec
