Over the Hedge by T Lewis and Michael Fry for February 03, 2022

Thus ends the age of rational thought

You can spell and play however you want – if you’re playing solitaire.

You can spell your personal name any way you want … however, since “racoon” is not a personal name, he’s stuck with the conventional accepted spelling.

They misspelled “dumb.”

You know, I don’t think they ever told us what RJ’s real name is.

The tyranny of the dictionary. What was Webster thinking?

Don’t start hinting at objective truth. That will get you kicked off Twitter.

Free-dumb

Teacher to kid: How do you spell “Bird”?

Kid: B u r d.

Teacher: Say that again.

Kid: B u r d.

Teacher: That’s not how you spell Bird.

Kid: Well if B u r d don’t spell bird, what do it spell?

Nope. “Freedom” has seven letters too.

I went to a free dom once. Big mistake, it took forever for the weals to go away!

language used to be like that – multiple spellings for words based upon pronunciation. We moved away from that centuries ago to ensure the written word was consistent for readers and everyone would know what the word was (even if they had to first use a dictionary).

Which is why R A C U N is wrong.

Still trying to figure out how Wordle works.

Sounds like downtown Ottawa this past week!

RJ try to learn the game first , then go for change if needed ;-)

What “teachers” college did he teach(brainwash) our current crop of “teachers” in?? Woke is wrong

Raku is a method of firing pottery and taking it out red hot and letting the heat set the sawdust you put it on on fire, changing the colors in the glaze. Rakun then means RJ’s been in one heck of a hot spot but he’ll sure come out pretty!

And this is how we get, ‘MAGA’, idiots!
