why do some People , type like this
If they have their keyboard set to a different language but type in English anyway, then it learns English words exactly how they’re spelled. Which means they probably spelled Window with capital W at some point and then it got autocorrected to that exact spelling.
Google’s keyboard is the absolute worst for that, tried using it for a bit but I’m back to SwiftKey which isn’t absolutely insane (and which has more customization options too)
I still miss Swype too, and hopefully one of the open source keyboard apps will get good enough to replace all of them soon enough
That, or if they’re like me, the person is just very tired. If I am extremely tired, I basically just hit shift on every word and don’t care about it. In such cases, I might fix my posts and comments in the morning, or even delete them if they feel too much like “what the fuck did I write there”.
Another key to identify those is double words.
Example: I Only Started Started Using Computers When When I Was 14.
None of your replies even address the weird spaces before commas thing. I’ve directly asked people on Reddit and the answer is always idk if they even reply at all.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plenken
In German, the practice of inserting a space before punctuation marks is called Plenken. It used to be a common practice, but nowadays it is considered an error.
I see this more often from people for whom English is a second language. Maybe that’s the case here?
It might be, but they can never explain why. Is there some other language that does this? I don’t know of one.
It might come from languages like German where nouns are capitalized. Even in English proper nouns are capitalized so I don’t see why that bothers you so much
I don’t think the All, Refuse, See, No, and Never in that screenshot are nouns. They also didn’t capitalize microwave.
Personally I typically type like that (and like this) due to typing like I speak
Stilted with many gaps
Sometimes with a lot of parentheses due to the scatter shot nature of my brain
But that’s a conversation for another time
Yeah, I see people use commas as pauses where commas definitely aren’t supposed to go and that make no sense whatsoever (to me, anyway, but I know not everyone has the same education, resources, etc.) all the time. I think that’s part of what’s going on here.
It sounds like our brains work very similarly, fellow random-parentheses-using scatterbrain! I’m both glad I’m not alone and also sad that you experience this frustrating shit, too, haha. I feel for you.
I much prefer the way you break up your thoughts, by the way. It flows better, makes more sense, and reads in my head voice more like it would if you were speaking (to me, anyway!)
My dishwasher has windows.
I haven’t been able to convince her to use Linux yet.
Am I the only one who frequently thinks of Tracy Morgan saying “It was all worth it to see them boobies” as the host of some weird reality horror show years ago when I see the word boobies?
The mole man who comes up the drain to wash your dishes is very shy.
>dishes go in dirty
>dishwasher yells and shakes for a few hours
>dishes come out clean
Are you guys really buying this?
It barely shakes compared to the washing machine. I’m not buying. I believe little elves scrub the dishes clean.
Now the interesting part of the question. Most of us are probably pretty against the idea of slavery, but if you managed to pull back the curtain and found out it really was poor little enslaved elves in your dishwasher scrubbing all your dishes for you, would you say anything, and go back to scrubbing your dishes yourself and also try and find housing and a support network and medical and psychological services for the now freed elves? Or would you maybe just try to forget what you saw and keep putting your dishes in the magic cleaning box?
I just spent a ridiculous number of hours replacing our dishwasher. This is a task that shouldn’t really take more than an hour or two, but there were complications caused by the previous owner of the house…plus I made the mistake of trying to fix our old dishwasher first.
If there are elves in that thing, I’d like to slap 'em around for putting me through that headache.
Probably the same elves Santa enslaved. That or the Galadhrim of Lothlórien.
That’s because the dishwater looks disgusting and your dishwasher uses the same dishwater for 20 minutes.
It does a pre-wash cycle to remove the really heavy stuff, but yeah I don’t really want to look at it churning vomit water for an hour.
