that said, paying for a billboard with a misspelled facebook meme is a really funny use of your car dealership inheritance money

Yeah you should see some of the crap billboards idiots buy in the south, I saw one on vacation that just said something like "What happened to personal responsibility? Let's bring it back!"

There used to be a big one on a nearly barren highway outside of my hometown that just said "Jesus hates abortions!" And it had a stock image of Jesus that still had some kind of watermark on it

America sure is a country

Back during the whole “labor shortage” bs a couple years back, I saw one outside of atlanta that said:

HELP AMERICA WORK

It's still hilarious that no one along the whole chain designing, printing, and installing that billboard noticed the obvious spelling mistake.

it's not the job of the people who sell and maintain the ad space to tell the customer that their ad is stupid

To be fair, it's probably a good sign that you have some easy money on your hands

Hi, this is Bob from Bob's Billboards. I'm afraid there must have been some sort of mix-up. We received a photograph of a pig with feces on its...

They might be playing 4D chess and thinking spelling it phonetically is the only way to keep it comprehensible to the hogs who are driving right by.

[-] hungrybread@hexbear.net 27 points 1 week ago

Probably misspelled it to get dems to share it.

Yep the reverse Nigerian Prince email

[-] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

Alright, I'm being a pedant, but how is "dimensia" any more phonetic than "dementia"? If anything "dimensia" is less phonetic since all the common -sia words are pronounced /-ʒə/ and all the common -tia words are pronounced /-ʃə/. The "dimensia" spelling is influenced by "dimension", but that's not strictly the same as being phonetic.

[-] TemutheeChallahmet@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I guess what I meant is the -sh sound is likely to be known across more reading levels than the -tia sound because it comes up earlier in reading education. The first spelling, when sounded out, more readily reproduces "dementia" as the remedial reader has heard it ambiently

"Your going to the camps!"

"Um actually it's spelled *you're heh, owned MAGA"

[-] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago

Honestly more power to people who spell words "wrong". Generally the best way to have a successful spelling reform is to look for common misspellings and make them a part of the standard.

Grocery should have 2 c's. 😡

[-] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

Grocery should be spelled grossery with grossiery as a variant spelling, such that it's clearer that the word is related to "gross"

No, it's dimensia. Biden'a connection with the third dimension is wearing down and soon he will exist solely as a shadow on the Oval Office walls
