Mistake about the number of O’s in BZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Superman joke.

Then posts it anyway
Notation of newbie’s incorrect phrasing style. Consideration for tenure. Quiet welcome.
newbie requests clarification of incorrect phrasing style, being upset that it took a whole 20 minutes for someone to notice newbie’s post
