Honestly just kill me now if I'm 35 and the dementia is already hitting me. Like what the gently caress. Don't even know if it was a slip of the finger or if I'm really losing it but that o is going to keep me awake tonight for real.

A lot of people purposely use "try and" when they should be using "try to," so I wouldn't say you're that bad off all things considered.

I had a bunch of lemons a few weeks ago so I salt-preserved them in some jars, and they're sitting in the back of my fridge. I don't know anything about moroccan food other than like 'preserved lemons, tangines, dried fruit, couscous, lamb?'

I thew together a sort of chicken-olive-raisin-preserved lemon tangine-ish dish (despite my never having eaten a tangine) and it turned out sort of blughhhgh and I felt dumb. So, if any of you have any real experience cooking moroccan food, (ie, not just google/wikipedia) please set me straight.

It says right in the ban reason it would have been a probe if they weren't already queued for two different probes.

Their most recent ban was for this post:

I am aware. Back then the internet was still awash with AOL speak, 1337, and that kind of thing. Making people type like adults was part of the "we're better than the rest of the web even though half of GBS is about pants making GBS threads" smug counter-cultural elitism that's kind of the original purpose of the site. Then for a little while no caps or punctuation was a way to signal sarcasm, a trend that leaked from the FYAD-lites. As the rest of the internet moved on, SA became more insular, and goons realized folks weren't getting probed for it anymore, the contrary goon spirit seized onto defying this rule as a way to be too cool for school, round about the time every single GBS thread started with a page of "im gay." That mostly died off, but you still run into people now and then who communicate entirely through all lower case run-on sentences.

I catch myself pretty often on to/too, then/than, and a few others like maybe lose/loose. I know the difference perfectly well but I think the problem is that I imagine how I'd say it and then type whatever version without thinking what the correct spelling is for the case. Just proofread your poo poo.

I once sent an email and said something like "a bit of a change in plans" except I was zoned out and wrote something like "a bitch change in plans" and hit send before my brain caught up to what I wrote out

I immediately send a deep apology email and the person wrote back laughing and said it was fine so luckily that worked out

I got fired for unrelated reasons but thank God because that place was a nightmare
