    I got a T shirt eons ago ($7, couldn’t stop myself) that said “I have a dig bick/You that read wrong/You read that wrong too”. I can’t wait to find a younger shithead to gift it to now that I’m old enough that I’m expected to be vaguely dignified.

    I’ve been deliberately misspelling Untied States since Trump has been back in power. It often goes unnoticed

    I don’t consider a test writer being an insufferable pedantic asshole to be any kind of reflection of my own abilities.

    “Oh, you didn’t consciously turn off 3.5 billion years of evolved pattern recognition that functions correctly 99.9% of the time for the purpose of getting my disingenuous gotcha question right, on a rigidly timed test designed to put you under intense time pressure? lol”

    I’ll tell you where you can stick your test.

    My brain is so good at detecting patterns that I realize that I shouldn’t even engage with this

    This level of pedantry is not good to foster unless you want all of your words, systems, and rules questioned.

      at the top of a two page quiz (single side, two pages stapled). read through the entire quiz before beginning.

      question 1 immediately follows, an easy one even the dummies can answer.

      question 10 on second page. print your name in the top right corner of the first page and then answer this question and this question only (and it’s something that’s an opinion, not even a ‘right or wrong’). turn the quiz over when completed, and sit quietly until the bell rings or instructed otherwise.
