Ice97531 RE: OP “Can a person really be obliverated?” in General Questions indicates that you should have looked the word up as the definition is for obliterated. None of the posts seemed to have picked up on the error. Just started off opining. * * * “Beware of the Cog” ---

Sheesh the guy’s only been here a month, and he only has forty posts. I corrected him in the first reply - is this really a pittable offense? ---

So, you pit the guy for misspelling “Obliterated”. Was this before, or after you misspelled “Often” and “Definition” in the original thread? ---

Jesus Fucking Christ. Just saw in GQ a question about Rancid Oil where the OP’er corrected themselves on it’s vs its, and the poster only had about 50 posts to their name. Oh yeah, **now** I understand the question. Lighten the fuck up ---
