Nothing could be worse than X Æ A-12.
I’m now thinking of that classic post from the old site that shows someone’s painstakingly cursive-written note of the entire text of a bluescreen (the old bluescreen with a lot of characters on screen) for tech support.
And thinking of a slightly more tech inclined grandma who doesn’t quite get all of it having a problem with a torrent and just reading the infohash/magnet link to the ISP’s support call center.
There are a lot of reasons why musk should be (and soon enough will be) jailed, this is one of them. This is child abuse, literally
“Breighdone” (Brayden) is probably the most egregious one I haven’t brain-bleached yet.
My friend works in the billing department of a local hospital, and she will occasionally text me some crazy spellings she comes across.
yeah that’s literally a HIPAA violation lol
esp if the spelling is that unique, it’s definitely identifying info
It probably would get her in some hot water, but a first name alone is a gray area. It becomes a definite violation if it’s combined with health information, even as simple “a baby was born here with the name X”. If she just says “I saw a name spelled X” then it may not be a violation of the law, but the hospital would probably still can her for it.
La-a (Pronounced La-dash-ah) is the weirdest one I’ve seen
Seems to be an urban legend tough. Also racist.
T’Fanny for Tiffany. She’s about 30 now, so that was a bad decision from a long time ago.
How did Americans get fanny backwards but they wear fanny packs correctly?
Only younger generations wear fanny packs “correctly”. They were originally a hip bag that stayed behind you, not something you wore in front of you. Because fanny was slang for ass in America.
So younger generations wear them “wrong” in the sense that they were originally meant to be worn behind you. But “correctly” in the British sense.
Abcde (pronounced AB-sid-ee) was certainly memorable if nothing else.
