Misspelling

Okay....who wants to sign a roster now? I have one in my coop!

Hey, (scratches head) I looked up the word *You* adjusted to a bold text in my comment. Thought you were hinting to "it" being misspelled? That is the accurate spelling and it's usage is what I wanted. So, I guess your referring to the "veggie" versus "vegetable" of prior posting?

Yeah I'm dyslexic &ADHD but, I don't enjoy when it flares up and royally makes a mess of things, ideas, posts, text messages, emails, etal.

In the context that you used, I would have used opposed.

Fair enough. Hmmm. I can see that. (Shrugs)

 

[electrycmonk]

Apposed with the 'a' means "place (something) in proximity to or juxtaposition with something else". I suspect, and I think Elk did too, that you meant opposed, with an 'o', meaning "(of two or more things) contrasting or conflicting with each other".

Though juxtaposing something does mean you're contrasting them, so they might both work, haha.

Huh, this is fascinating. From dictionary.com definition #2 is as follows for 'a': to put or apply (one thing) to or near to another.

Which was 'close enough' for me but, like I said in reply to Elk, I can see his POV and can also agree with both y'all on the logical use of 'o' here as well. And on reflection with this reply I can comfortably concede that it is the better choice too. (Shrugs)

... As someone who has the word "Sebright" in her username, I sincerely hope that people tag me when they want to use my full name.
Or one of the many sweet nicknames that the Kikster and the gang have given me.
Just... not any of those... abominations mentioned in Odd's post.

I like to think I can get away with a (in my eyes) fun nickname of "Sappy" or "sappie" pronounced 'Saffy'.

As is the case with nicknames (most of the time) they are made in a form of affection/respect for another.

Something that ticks me off hugely is when people say "u" for "you," and "bc" for "because," and other such things....
Not really poultry, specifically, sorry.
And punctuation. Punctuation irritates me as much as, if not more than, misspellings.
I see these mistakes so often... it's just -- gah!
Oh, and let's not forget "to," "too," and "two!"

One of the most painful ironies for me... Grammar errors by others are usually glaringly obvious to my eyes. However, my mistakes I can be so dang blind to, it's no longer funny.

Go ahead! Those are sweet. Thanks!

Well I guess there talking about a wooden beam that oxen pull.

Ahem. You mean, they're talking about .... right?

I can understand this. I myself have never made an error, but my autocorrect has done several for me.
