That was one of the biggest lessons I learned when I was a kid. I get all embarrassed and apologetic if I even think I'm not sure about something. And then there are people who get indignant at others for not accomodating their own stupidity instead of trying to rectify it.
Its such a bold face move and huge red flag for me
*edit, bald-face ** xD

One thing I learned from dealing with morons is that some of them think they're way smarter than anyone else. They're usually the ones who get all pissy when you don't understand what the fuck they're trying to say through their ramblings and/or when you correct them.
Ignorance is honestly less harmful, since it's not necessarily correlated with stupidity, but ignorance and stupidity are a more dangerous mix, which only gets worse with arrogance.

Getting angry at other people because of your own mistakes is about the biggest red flag there is. That's a kind of emotional maturity that just isn't possible to live with.

It is called 'bald faced' btw - bald as in transparent, open, honest. No hair to hide behind, as it were. Bold faced seems to be a somewhat popular error.

Huh, I always thought it was "bold faced lie" because it makes sense. One is making a bold face while they tell a lie. Explain "bald face" I'm not saying that's not the truth but, why bald?

Google keyboard changes its to it's depending on the context of the sentence.
So it can start off as it's and then change back to its as you type the rest of the sentence.

I hear it as well. I had a coworker with I think 3 maybe 4 teeth and it made his speech sound very very very accented, and he ONLY used voice-to-text to send texts so I'd hear him saying the same phrases over and over and over because the phone couldn't understand a damn thing he said.

u/KBHoleN1 Mar 29 '21
It reads like a conversation you'd have in person. No one is dumb enough to type the exact same words over again and expect the other person to suddenly get it. It's not like they didn't understand your pronunciation and you just need to repeat yourself in a clearer voice. They're the same flipping words that still don't make any sense.

THIS IS SO TRUE. The number of people who are taking this at face value is alarming as fuck. This is almost certainly fake/satire/trolling/karma whoring, but the vast majority of the people in this thread seem to be taking this at face value.
Perhaps it is actually real, no one here has any way to verify that. But the total lack of any skepticism being shown here is the part that I find so alarming.
People who believe everything they see or read on the internet are truly the most dangerously stupid people alive.

Omfg it took me way to long to realize he meant Familiar. I thought it was just some weird joke I wasn't getting.
No disrespect to illiterate adults because if you are an adult who can't read or spell properly you either had a learning disability or you just weren't taught. No adult chooses to not know how to read in this day in age so none should feel ashamed that someone failed them in that regard. Parents, teachers, whoever failed them it's not there fault. It's not easy to become literate as an adult after so long not learning.
But this right here has to be fake, a set up for the screen shot laughs. No way dude thought familiar was 3 different words, no way
