So common sense is dictated now by a few members of niche social media circles?

You'd think someone using the name CaptPretentious would be all in favor of things being made up by niche social circles.

Sorry was I supposed to put my first name, last name, social Security number, and mother's maiden name as my username?

Well see, common sense would have me ask "hm, how do I say that?" then google it, then when I see that it's simply pronounced "mix" I'd say "oh, okay". And then go on about my day... instead of ranting about how hard it is to figure out and how angry it should make everyone. But that's just me.

If it were me, I would probably figure out what the person I'm trying to argue arguing with was actually arguing about. Instead of getting up on a soapbox and pretending like I know what I'm arguing about. But that would take effort.

But you keep using those canned responses you got ready to go.

Wow, those two letters really shook you. Deep breaths.

My position has fuck all to do with the letters.

But you really need it to be don't you. Because your canned responses only work if that's what I'm arguing about.
