It MUST be late…reading “jizz” made me LOL! I’m tired…no more poo slinging. I’m off to bed…hopefully I won’t dream about monkeys, “poo” or “jizz”. I wonder if this thread will be here in the morning? Ah well, it was fun. Thanks to you Czar! 😉 Nite all. And, namaste. 😉 Yogini ---

So where’s **CheekyMonkey** at?

Alas, it’s not to be. I guess she just wanted to whine. As if we don’t have enough of that going around right now. :rolleyes: ---

No Miller, but hey…thanks for asking. :rolleyes: Too bad you decided to interject that nugget, I used to think you were one of the good ones around here. And Robyn…funny thing, I googled the “Confusious Say” line, and all the sites that popped up spelled it the way I did. Check it out for yourself. Maybe Google should e-mail all those links that come up and tell them it’s spelled wrong. Hmm? 🙂 Have a great day all! Yogini ---

If you type “Confusious” into Google’s search bar, it will return all hits _ **on that spelling** _. Type in the correct spelling and you will get a different set of hits. Garbage in/garbage out. ---

Well THAT’s silly! If I had known it was wrong, I would have fixed it. But I - - get this now - - ASSUMED if I typed something incorrectly spelled it wouldn’t pull up any matches. CRAZY! LOL! 🙂 Like when I use the dictionary online and type a misspelled word into it, nothing comes up as a match. OY! :rolleyes: ---

**Miller** , I think you can go ahead and assume. **Yogini** misspells a word into Google, discovers that Google searches for and finds instances of her (his?)misspellings, and takes that as proof that it’s not a misspelling. Only thing I don’t get is that s/he misspells it in a different fashion in the latest post. Assuming you don’t actually want to break out [the dictionary](http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=Confucius), a useful tool in figuring out spelling, you could at least try for the democracy of Google, as follows: **Confucius** returns about 388,000 results. **Confusious** returns about 1,970 results. **Confuscious** returns about 3,650 results. You’ll find similar results Googling the crass “Confucius/Confusious/Confuscious say” joke genre. Time to apologize for being a snarky fool, **Yogini**. Daniel ---

“Only thing I don’t get is that s/he misspells it in a different fashion in the latest post.” It was a typo. :rolleyes: LOL! And apparently so was the original typing of the word. OY! Anyway…are you perfect LHOD? I admitted previously that I was not. I do not choose to look up every word in the dictionary that I use. Are we going to get into correcting EVERYONE’s misspellings here on the SDMB? I will not apologize for being a snarky fool, as I am neither snarky nor a fool. Good day to you. 🙂 ---

WOW Daniel, you’re sooooo smart. “Do you think you’re the only person on the Internet with a cavalier disregard for spelling, such that when you misspell a word, it’s the first time the word’s ever been misspelled that way online?” (Insert heavy sarcastic tone here…) That was EXACTLY my thinking. :rolleyes: ---

“In the habit, are we, of defending our typos as accurate spellings?” Can you tell me where it is you feel I defend a typo as an accurate spelling? “Anyway, you’ve shown your character.” Um, okay Daniel. If you can tell my “character” by a few posts in this thread - - wherein I admit mistakes and apologize for misunderstandings/miscommunications, etc., well then I think that says something about YOU, not me. ---

Check it out for yourself. Maybe Google should e-mail all those links that come up and tell them it’s spelled wrong. Hmm? In re-reading, I suppose you could be simply explaining the procedure that you used, or heaping scorn on the idea that all Internet mispellings need to be corrected… but certainly on first read, your post seemed to suggest you were defending your typo as an accurate spelling, based on your Google research. - Rick ---

Keep going Yogini, I’m learning alot about the Yogic mind from you. The rough, paraphrased translation of Namaste is The Divinity of Me Recognizes the Divinity in You. There can be no other ‘intention’ behind it. Asking someone if they’re being sanctimonious means “I think you’re being sanctimonious, but I just don’t want to come out and say it” “Jarbaby Say: Person Who Use Excessive Smilies Has Limited Gift of Expression” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/admins-attitude-towards-people-who-cant-afford-5/235404.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/admins-attitude-towards-people-who-cant-afford-5/235404.md?page=5)
