I just got nerd sniped by my own misspelling. I write: "indecentally", which is a butchering of indecent. I say: "incedentally", which is an expansion of incedent. I meant: incidentally, and yet somehow pronounce "incident" correctly. It seems very use of language is indecent.

The incident of interlude; the indecent indecision and a cause of inderpretation of interpretation. An interdiction necessitating intervention or intermission? You sussing me or whut?

Reddit: u/CommonMisspellingBot & u/ComeOnMisspellingBot are having a war and u/booCMB is shitting on the first, with u/booBCMB shitting on them. It seems u/CommonMisspellingBot is being reported + down-voted in an automated manner. 2018 is wild.

Jiff is pronuced like gif. You know, because jay-peg interchange file format is a wonderful extension and we should all use mime-type file extensions instead of that .jpeg anachronism.https://twitter.com/ultimape/status/1045528233914101760 …

🐜 🐻 @ultimapeWhy is it called an "extension"? Just occurred to me that this word is absolutely bonkers. I thought it might be a microsoftism and a result of a literal extended name in some arbitary filenaming scheme format, but the wiki suggests 8.3 naming scheme existed before FAT? https://twitter.com/dosnostalgic/status/1045521423798882304 …Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

TFW you realize that even if we invent brain-to-brain communication (and remove all need for linear idea compression formats) the mental constructs in your head won't have a strong semantic grounding as you interpret the world differently and mapping will be just as fucked.pic.twitter.com/egrNALpHi5

I don't think that it is quite so dire. Yes, both low level features and abstract ontologies have different structure, but we all deal with volumetric objects in the same 3space, and similar dimensions of relevance.
