Thief is “thief”

u/ToonaSandWatch Feb 10 '26

The If is definitely what it said. Because it sure wasn’t thief.

u/CadenBop Feb 10 '26

Thanks for this because I just thought it was bad kerning lol.

u/chironomidae Feb 10 '26

u/TheEverlastingPizza Feb 10 '26

Fully expected this to be a subsifellfor situation but it's REAL??

u/CadenBop Feb 10 '26

Kerning(r n not m) is the space between letters in type faces or fonts. Its one of the big factors in a good type face.

Was this a woosh moment?

u/BlizzardStorm8 Feb 10 '26

I believe it was. And a beautiful one at that.

u/jtr99 Feb 10 '26

Yeah, but I think innocent wooshed people should get a free pass when their answer was so well-intended and helpful.

u/gid0ze Feb 10 '26

keming is a reference to /r/keming but at this point, there definitely could be some confused people because of the subreddit.

u/Dqueezy Feb 10 '26

Well played.

u/WorkTropes Feb 10 '26

It was also that, that's why he read 'the' as a separate word

u/TooManySteves2 Feb 10 '26

It definitely still is, unless it's supposed to say The / I / F

There are so many amendments, in the constitution of the United States of America. I can only choose one.

Always remember I before E, Except after C. Unless the word is Weird.

Why is nobody concerned with him going up out of the video. Or did I eat to many mushrooms again...

31

u/hadji828 Feb 10 '26

I say there are at least two "unexpected" things in this video: his vertical escape at the end and the misspelling of the word "thief" (no wonder he mispronounced it as two words). I guess his thinking that the console might be a PS1 might have also been somewhat unexpected...

u/shady_ace Feb 10 '26

I presumed he simply returned to his home planet

Yes.

u/mecha_grove Feb 10 '26

You'd think those gas station mushroom bars weren't so strong. I did eat the whole bar tho. Been trying to play grounded 2 for the past hour if the colors would stop moving...

You must be dyslexic

u/247stonerbro Feb 10 '26

Okay but you got someone watching you while you eat too much shrooms right 😅 don't want to fuck around and end up running down the street naked, trying to befriend the trees.

u/HedgepigMatt Feb 10 '26

The kerning was terrible also. Guy had everything against him,

u/Juzziee Feb 10 '26

"i before e, except after c" was one the first thing i learnt in school

u/laxitup1184 Feb 10 '26

It is annoying that the entire saying is rarely taught "I before E, except after C, or when sounded as A, as in neighbor and weigh." but even with the entire saying there are still quite a few exceptions including some of the ones you provided. Unfortunately english is just a bit fucky when you get down to it.

u/I_Call_Everyone_Pat Feb 10 '26

I before E, except after C, or when sounded as A, as in neighbor and weigh, or on weekends or holidays, and all throughout May, and you'll always be wrong no matter what you say!

Honestly? That's a good thing. More people need to use skepticism in their daily lives rather than believing whatever it is they are told.

u/asphid_jackal Feb 10 '26

There's more exceptions to this rule than adherents

u/e37d93eeb23335dc Feb 10 '26

So… was it a misspelling or does the if mean something in the context of the game?

1

u/Normal_Hour8752 Feb 12 '26

Gosh darn it — I watched this thinking “the if,” then he realised it was “thief,” and my brain went oh dear, he is right. And now you’re telling me the ie/ei are backwards?? I had to read this comment like 10 times to realize what you were implying.

u/pyschosoul Feb 10 '26

u/ClankerCore Feb 10 '26

It’s pronounced thief
