Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

Did you mean: of that?
Yes, I tend to be literal. Once I was with a family friend. I know the meanings of what people say most of the times. Well, this friend, who is way older than me (I had to fix his computer) took me to a burger shop. The guy running the place said, "is he your adopted son?" I said no. They then explained (something I already knew) that that was used for someone a person really likes or something along the lines of that.

I did mean of that. I have a problem with vowels. I think my gardening thumbs aren’t accurate on the phone. I constantly have o, i, and u issues.
I will go back and correct it.
You would make a good proof reader. Do proof readers still exist in the world of autocorrect? I had to learn all the proofing symbols as a kid to help proof what my Dad wrote. One proofing trick is to read the line from right to left - it confuses the brain so it can’t do its own version of autocorrect.

Proof reading tax

@Ponypoor you owe tax for asking permission to laugh.

Thank you for the compliment. My phone corrects my i's to o's and the such.
We still need proofreaders. Autocorrecr is too dumb.
What did your Dad write?
Edit: Autocorrect does not know how to correct its own name.

I knew, but was attempting a joke. (Failure obviously)

Ok, there is something also that helps when you are struggling to know what a word means.
Break down the word. You have to look at the roots.
Co- miser-ate
Except this time you have to add two m's.
You have to look, miser. Miser means someone who is miserable.
So, commiserate.

Me too. Bob can take Hattie on a continent wide tour so we have a chance to pet her.

He was an academic. So he wrote ‘papers’ on obscure topics and books on the same topics.

Stupid auto correct. There's a reason I do that on my computer. No autocorrect and you don't have to have your chicken-poopy, gardening, putting-up-fencing thumbs and fingers on the screen.

You have to put up with chicken-poopy, gardening, puttinf-up-fencjng thumbs and fingers on your keyboard.
Notice all the things autcorrect failed to correct.
