Incorrect Corrections

Fake news, my friend! The effort of dragging your mouse across the table, finger across the mousepad, or finger across the screen to click the color button, then spending so much time to find the white text color, then actually CLICKING it, and then typing what you want to say is simply too much effort for the human body to take. Anyone who tried would simply die. It would be much easier to simply create your own language for personal use.

You should probably not smash an RTG with a hammer.

[RaeTheRaven]

That is absolutely wrong. I don't know what an RTG is, but there is nothing that you shouldn't smash with a hammer. 

You should eat every day. 

[curon he/him]

Actually, this is a tenacious misconception! As the world hunger organization (WHO) decreed in 1982, you should limit your calory intake to one weekday only. The remaining freedom of choice as to which weekday is to be feasted upon then brought forth the maxim "You should eat any day" which, finally, was twisted into the false, albeit appealing, version of the statement you just cited. 

 

Science is a kind of religion, too!

 

[RaeTheRaven]

(Unfortunately you're right...) I mean... absolutely not. Science is the completely objective pursuit of truth and no one ever promotes their own opinions or beliefs as fact. Yup. 

Grapefruit is nothing like grapes. 

[SymphonianBookworm she/her]

Incorrect. It has the word grape in it.

Paper comes from trees.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

Uh... no! Paper comes from a bush, silly! Since paper doesn't have seeds, it can't be a fruit and must be a berry, which doesn't have seeds. As we all know, trees only grow fruit and bushes only grow berries, so paper grows on bushes as a berry.

Turbofan engines are significantly more effective than turbojet engines.

[AonDoor he/him]

Actually, they're about the same. They're both "turbo," which means they do the same thing. They create tornados. Obviously. Turbojets just create waternados.

In 1787, I'm told, our founding fathers did agree to write a list of principles for keeping people free.

[Wittles he/him]

No they didn't! What would make you think that? They wrote all of those lists to trick the aliens into thinking we were a civilized species. 

The silk road was important to trade and travel circa 1200

[NerdyAarakocra They/Them]

Incorrect, my friend! Circa means "around," and the silk road was not, in fact, a circle.

You exist.

[Cinnamon]

No, sadly. If You existed we’d all be in India right now at a Sharder Potluck.

That darned elusive Pimpernel!

[AonDoor he/him]

Actually... Sink me! I can't think of a correction!

Calculators usually work.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

Calculators are notorious for in-flight failures, especially due to the unneeded complexity of it's engine system. It's failure rate exceeded 85% in 1987 and was discontinued a year later and removed from service with the Lao People's Liberation Army Air force in 1994.

Highways are very useful.

[AonDoor he/him]

What we now know as "highways" are not real highways, because they are below 25,000 feet. Highways haven't been around in a long time. The UN banned them due to excessive cases of altitude sickness. People who went on them brought altitude sickness wherever they went.

Breakfast is nice.

[Gak he/him]

Actually breakfast is very rude, if you see him you should whack him in the face.

You should throw away moldy food.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

No, no! Mold shows usp on food when it's ripe! You can't eat anything until it's ripe.

Eggs are quite nutritious.

[AonDoor he/him]

Speaking as someone who came from an egg, I can confidently say that there are no nuts in eggs.

Legs have many uses, including walking and brother-kicking.

[Gak he/him]

actually walking and brother kicking are done with the feet, the legs are used in running and sister kicking, though the latter is frowned upon in polite society.

polite society is in fact not a acronym, nor should anyone ever make it one.

 

[Szeth Pancakes he/they]

“Nor” isn’t a word. I think you mean “or.”

Tennessine is the most recently discovered element.

[The Isochronism he/him]

Well actually, since Tennessine consists mostly of Iron, we've always known about it in our hearts.

 

Sporks are useless because they make terrible spoons.

[Szeth Pancakes he/they]

“Useless” isn’t one word. It’s “use less.”

I am Groot.

[Thaidakar the Ghostblood he/him]

Incorrect, I am Groot.

This thread is necroed now.

[Experience he/him]

*waits 3 months to post*

No. Now it is.

I like pineapples.

[Thaidakar the Ghostblood he/him]

Incorrect.

You hate pineapples.

 

I think that Lightsong and Kaladin should form a boyband.

[The Bookwyrm he/him]

How do we know you think that, and aren't being fed that thought by the mysterious idea creatures?

This is a statement.

[NerdyAarakocra They/Them]

No, it's a forums post.

Is this a question?
