AI Thread Summary
Typing words correctly can evoke a sense of accomplishment, as highlighted by the excitement of getting "gargantuan" right on the first attempt. The conversation shifts to the feeling of threads becoming less meaningful with age and late-night thesis work, sparking humor about typing mishaps and phonetic errors that become more frequent over time. Participants share experiences of struggling with spelling and the influence of autocorrect features, leading to amusing exchanges about the challenges of writing and the quirks of language. The discussion reflects a light-hearted camaraderie around the frustrations and victories of spelling, particularly in the context of academic pressures.

Man, I'm so smrt. I just typed 'gargantuan' in a thread I made and I typed it correctly the first time! Do you guys ever feel super cool when you type a word that you're not even sure how it's spelled and you do it right the first go around? Man, I feel awesome. I can do anything!

Are my threads getting more and more meaningless as I get older? Or is this how people generally talk when they're up to 5am working on their thesis.

But really! That was pretty badass, I typed it, no red underline thingy, and BOOM. WIN.

I love you all.

DISCUSS!

Lawls, someone said geodisk instead of geodesic earlier today. That was great.

Aha! Looks so easy now :blushing:

I was originally trying to read it with a Scottish accent to make sense of it (don't know why though...) :D

Well, the family is from Minsk which is not that far from Scotland in the larger view.

I am always happy when I get "neighbourhood" right.

Wait, why is the spellchecker weird?

I tend to make this type of mistake with greater relative frequency when I type than when I write longhand cursively.

I think you already know the answer to that one Peng. BTW. What is the subject of your thesis ?

I disabled it precisely because of obnoxious educated ones like you. Hey Greg, can we make a special Pengy spam filter ?

You think you have a problem along those lines?

I've just bought myself a new computer, which has this stupid "auto-spell" system which actually substitutes words for the words I'd originally intended!

This has actually gotten me into trouble on other fora.

I used to be a terrific speller. Can't spell for crap, these days. If it weren't for the spell-checker built into my browser...
