      As a grammar and language hobbyist, I’m interested in your spelling of hobbiest. Shouldn’t such a word come up so often in your hobbyist communities that you know how to spell it by now?

      Feels like someone living in Texas spelling it Texes.

        As a logic and math hobbyist, I’m wondering how you came to the following conclusions…

        a) That they participate in an online community OR b) that speaking (in an offline community) would somehow help them to know how to spell the word

        AND

        c) That the word “hobbyist” comes up often in these communities

          You adipisci voluptas wut m8? Rerum omnis distinctio eos aliquid. Asperiores quis illo rem est. Rerum voluptatem ipsa assumenda eum eos est. Voluptas quaerat optio ab eos in eos. Error et et quidem consequatur saepe. Magnam ab et at velit voluptatem illum aliquam sapiente. Sapiente!!

              So you agree words are real and spelling matters?

              I just find it odd such a basic blatant spelling mistake was made while this situation is unfolding and being astroturfed to hell.

              You wouldn’t think an astronomer would call themselves an astrologer by mistake – much higher chance someone selling fake pretty glass to tourists would say their crystals are good for astronomy.

              Since we’re on the subject of spelling things out, I’m questioning the authenticity of the guy who spelled it hobbiest. He may have just made a spelling mistake, we all do it, but 1.) currently heavily astroturfed subject 2.) hobbyists use the word a lot.

                being an insufferable prick and a conspiracy wingnut about people’s basic spelling mistakes seems like a really weird hobbie

                All the astroturfing is pro tariff, while the genuine engagement is anti-tariff. Go shill somewhere else, glowy.

        Thank you for taking interest in the spelling in my post. My autocorrect kept changing things and I must have failed to properly proofread. I do, in fact, know how to spell the word. As a human, I am prone to errors from time to time. I apologize for this.

        Since grammar and language are your hobby, I would suggest you spend less time online, as correcting the rampant errors in language and grammar must consume a great deal of your time. I would also like to point out that there are many people online for whom English is a second language.
