The depth to which he has gone to illustrate what a simple /whoosh would a done is part of the sad tire no?

I don't know what y'all are talking about. Personally, I enjoy Tits Nucleic Ass.

When, as we all know, it stands for n-BOOOOOP

[–] Vinny_93@lemmy.world 207 points 1 week ago (15 children)

Should we point out that in this context it's 'save', not 'safe'? If you're going to correct someone's spelling, make sure your own is impeccable.

[–] Vent@lemm.ee 201 points 1 week ago (11 children)

Nah. It's engagement bait, plane and simple

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 3 points 6 days ago

The fact that that's a thing is why I don't use the more mainstream social media. Only Lemmy.

Science jargon has always sounded so impressive until I took anatomy.

for example, the big hole in the bottom of your skull (where the spinal chord passes through) is called the “foramen magnum” which is Latin for ‘big hole’.

[–] azi@mander.xyz 2 points 6 days ago

Unlike the cowards who hide their stupid names with latin, computer scientists will straight up call something a 'fat pointer'.

“God safe us” - irony right there especially when critical of someone else’s use of an acronym perhaps one’s own grasp of the English language should be a little better!!!

God save us ….

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

There's no formal rule, but adjectives can function as verbs in day to day English. can mean the same thing as make .

[–] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

However, we all know she made a typo while criticising someone else's understanding of words

[–] oo1@lemmings.world 1 points 6 days ago
