No idea if this is real or parity. Applies either way.

Certainly not parity :leolol:

Wow. I have a spelling issues w homophones but parity for parody is a new low for me.

Are more common.

I constantly fuck up you’re and your. I obviously have no problem understanding the difference. It’s just that when I type my fingers default to “you’re”. Seems like a weird issue. If anything I think doing it the other way around would be more likely.

Only very recently did I force myself to start correctly using affect and effect. Up until that point I legitimately avoided using either word in legal writing.

That problem has made quite an impact on me.

Actually could be pretty good news. I want him to run for president honestly. The Ukrainians sold it to me lol.

He’d win in a landslide, and he’d actually be a good and progressive president.

Can you imagine some poor Trumpy GOP person having to debate Jon Stewart? No way they show up, none. That guy does meaningful harm to people’s careers. If Tucker wasn’t the heir to a major fortune Jon would have finished him when he was still on CNN.
