An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I actually looked up whether "snowblowed" was a word. There is no true consensus. Urban dictionary's definition is a little different than the message I was trying to convey so that was no help. Altho it does sound intriguing (the one that does not involve cocaine). I figured everyone would get the point either way.
Altho?
Presumably, a shorter version of 'although'.
Ever seen tho' in place of though?
All human written languages are subordinate to the spoken language, with the exception of constructed languages like for software programming. In the ~~convoluted~~ uh ~~mismashed~~ uh, flexible language that is English, even when a word is supposedly misspelled, if it can still convey the sounds of the spoken word, then it can likely be understood. And that's the ultimate goal of a language: to convey thoughts to others.
I personally do not subscribe to the notion of prescriptivism, which believes that the dictionary is the final authority of words in English. However, the dictionary does serve as a reference, so people who heard the word "ornithology" can look up what it means.
TL;DR: humans have error correction capabilities
Your comment was great, why the hate?
