it amuses me, quite a lot, how comparatively often it happens when some peep requests to Follow me, so i check out their profile & posting history, & if i thus form a view they might not be entirely monstrous 🫢️ i approve them. then, some days go by, & i sometimes see some of said peeps in various timelines... i then notice they've hitherto stopped Following me. what goes thru the minds of these peeps? don't they check out my profile & posts prior to requesting the Follow, to avoid nasty surprises later? how can they just go in blind, & only afterwards then realise just wot a mega loony whingeing weirdarse i be? 🤯️🤪️🤷‍♀️️😂️

@MsDropbear42 Side note: thankyou for restoring my faith in humanity by spelling whingeing correctly! 👏
@sister_ratched well, i mean, we have chatted many times on this common interest... 😜🤭
@MsDropbear42 Yes, but I still twitch when I see it correctly spelled. 🤪
@sister_ratched oh noes! all this time my attempted fastidiousosity with grandma n zpelink has in fact been traumatising you -- i despair at my inhumanity, & can but apologize 😜
@MsDropbear42 Keep up the good work darls!
@sister_ratched cannot adequately describe the severity of the psychological trauma incurred in drafting that reply. totes antithetical impulses... pathological need for satirical silliness, vs anal-retentivity over spelling. nightmare!
@MsDropbear42 Poor Droppie, it's a serious and stressful business. Priorities!
@sister_ratched @MsDropbear42 thanks droppeie. Y'all done wordy goods.

Here's my conundrum: I have often used the spelling choices in podcast descriptions as a first indicator of general nationality. As in an 's' rather than a 'z' in a word etc. But now it means nothing! Bloody annoying actually.
@cheryanne @MsDropbear42 Grrrrrr..... the seppos have gone global. 😡
@sister_ratched @cheryanne @MsDropbear42 I learnt my English growing up in England. As a young student I had to use the Oxford dictionary in which the Z is used far more than many folk assume.
