**dude robert** seems harmless, and it’s fairly easy to just ignore his posts, but it definitely appears that he’s now trying to see what he can get away with.

…“with coherence”. They know he can’t do it so they are basically telling him to go away. 😃

No, my posts are usually completely genuine, it’s just that auto-correct seemed to take over there for some reason and replace some words. I had to leave soon after I made the post as well, so I couldn’t edit it, either.

Owsley Stanley flipped his car six years ago and is no longer with us, so where are you getting whatever it is you are taking?

It isn’t too hard to translate if you take into account how intelligent autocorrect isn’t. I’m sure he meant \*Cats: do you keep drinking your drink if your **pet**  **dips** his tail into the cup?\*and \*So, when you have a cup of tea or something on the table and your **pet** puts a tail into it…

Perfectly plausible autocorrects, but dude does himself no favors by not proofreading it.

You’re a doctor, right? What kind of medicine do you practice?

[spit-take] A doctor?

“So, before I begin cauterizing this artery just dorsal to the lesser subclavian – more suction posterior, please – I have a few questions… when you see a certificate, are you reminded that it only lasts for as long as you live? Do you worry that you could instantly die at any moment and not even realize it? And do you keep drinking your drink if your power did his tail into the cup?”

I’m sure dude robert will back me up on this. We’ve discussed it at length.

Yeah, that was my take. The dude is capable of gibberish, but that one should have been an easy fix. I can understand, though, if the mods don’t want to create a codependency here, where they end up fixing every thread the guy starts.

And I’ll also agree that autocorrect is a bite.

A favorite I’ve seen recently “in the wild” (meaning not on one of those sites for posting autocorrect mistakes that may or may not be fake) was someone mentioning a couple of short stories that are available on-line, except that what was really posted is that the stories “ate abalone” on-line.

And as soon as that was locked (and the warning that the third time would be the charm) she opened it again in GQ. No point linking to it, it’ll probably be cornfielded.
