GAAHH!!! CHECK YOUR SPELLING!!!
Hey Joel, you spelled original wrong.
It’s not “origional”, which is a kind of spice IIRC, it’s “original”.
Or-ig-in-al. ORIGINAL!!
GAAHHH!!!
That would be “oregano”.
And it’s an herb, not a spice.
Carry on.
It’s SPELT Raymond Luxury-Yacht, but it’s PRONOUNCED Throat-Wobbler-Mangrove.
Ahem
That done with, yes he did spell it wrong. Twice. This sort of thing irritates me too But you may have been better off correcting him in the original thread rather than starting a whole new Pit thread.
Not that it bothers me. Go pedants! Go!
That’s “Throat-Warbler-Mangrove”. You’re pronouncing it all wrong.
Also, it was three times.
What? You told me to go, I’m going.
No, no, it’s the US state located between California and Washington.
No, you’ve got it all wrong. It’s one of those instruments they always play Bach on.
Ah, I thought it was folding paper into all sorts of different shapes, like geese and elephants.
Yeah I know, ‘different’ is kind of redundant… but to this redneck mind it sounds smoother.
I work at a copy shop. Obviously our work depends to a large extent on having customers’ originals around. We label them so we know which one is the master copy. One of my coworkers ALWAYS puts a Post-it note on the original. It says “ORGINAL.”
You’re all way off. It’s a collection of third century Christian/Neo Platonist texts, in Greek, bound in one volume.
Larry, you are way beyond me. But what I think he was trying to say was orifice. – an opening through which something may pass…you know, like the President has the most prominent orifice in the land.
NO, NO, NO!!
It’s the state bird of Maryland.
This would be a joke thread in the Pit, wouldn’t it?
And also way beyond time you were asked to shut the fuck up, Michael Ellis?
You’re all wrong - it’s an eight-sided regular polygon, like the shape of a Stop sign.
And it’s probably going to be a locked joke thread any minute now…
I’m afraid old chap, as in the OP, in the original it’s SPELLED - spelled SPELLED, not SPELLED spelled SPELT.
Just for Friedo:
Ah… it’s a 1920s style “Death Thread.”
Enjoy! ;j
Maybe a case of bad spelling, or maybe a case of fingers on autopilot - …ion is a fairly common ending. I’ve been known to type it in error on occasion. Who’s to say?
I will say some things aren’t worth the stress they generate, but perhaps that’s just me.
Nonsense! Spelt is a hardy variety of wheat of inferior quality.
I thought it was a fish!
Cite?
Sorry, NoClueBoy: you smelt the wrong rat.
