Poll question: Is "apitamy" the epitome of freepspeak?

Edit: Give me a break. I'm foreign. I didn't expect they'd make THREE spelling mistakes in the SAME word!

[karlrschneider]

1. epitome

;-)

[Divide Et Impera]

2. Uh....

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/epitome

It's 'epitome'. If you're gonna clown, clown right....

[tritsofme]

3. You should at least get your spelling right

Before making fun of their's.

[Der Blaue Engel]

5. That's "theirs"

:hide:

[tritsofme]

27. And I'm not touting my superior political based spelling.

[karlrschneider]

6. No apostrophe in 'theirs'

;-)

[Forkboy]

23. Youse guys are bad!

:spank:

[redqueen]

4. I prefer "casting asparagus" myself.

:rofl:

Ah, it's good to laugh. Sure, they're conspiring to ruin ecosystems and start unnecessary wars and collapse our economy with their irresponsible ways and do away with all kinds of rights we already have and prevent however many groups they can from having the civil rights most of us take for granted... but still... you have to laugh sometimes, right?

:banghead:

[malaise]

8. This thread is a good laugh

COme on DUers epitome.

[Der Blaue Engel]

10. The sad handful of "active" freepers have no effect on what the neocons and BFEE do

They're just pissing in the wind, and that's always good for a giggle. :D

[htuttle]

13. I have to go with "casting asparagus", too

The visual image I get is just too funny for words...

:rofl:

[deutsey]

25. That one and "screwn" are my favorites n/t

[Rob H.]

7. I like "dribble" when they really mean "drivel"

LOL, I just looked up "drivel" at brainydictionary.com, and one of the definitions is A servant; a drudge.

[Der Blaue Engel]

9. Screwn wins it hands-down

I just can't get me enough of screwn! :evilgrin:

[Cabcere]

14. I think there's a name for that...

nimfomayneeuh, perhaps? :evilgrin:

:spank:

[karlrschneider]

11. OH! Sorry, didn't realize you're a Brazillion!

:D :toast:

[Error]

12. Not to disrupt the groupthink, but

Over the years, I found the more I was online and the more I typed, the more "freeper" type errors I found myself making.

I found myself making mistakes that I had ridiculed others in my mind for.

It is almost like the mind works phonetically. I have found myself putting in words that sounded like the one I meant... I made the classic "their, there, they're" bobble...

We're all just human. (But some are more human than others...)

[GoneOffShore]

16. Sorry, even when I type quickly

I try to maintain spelling and grammar. And most programs I work with have spell check. No context check though. I do keep an eye out for the "their, there, they're" differentiation and other egregious errors.

I've seen far more errors from RW respondents than from our side of the aisle. :shrug:

Sure, it's anecdotal, and your mileage may differ, but that's been my experience. Hardly seems to be 'group think'. That's what you find over "there".

:hi:

Welcome to DU!

[Error]

18. oops!

"I've seen far errors from RW respondents than from our side of the aisle."

did you mean far more errors?

I think you just made my case for me...

[GoneOffShore]

34. ....

:blush:

And I went back and corrected.

Still, no spelling errors.

:hi:


And I might have done it on purpose, just to bait you.

:shrug:

[gollygee]

20. I'm the same

I don't know if I type faster than I used to or what, but I find I make a lot more mistakes than I used to. And really really stupid ones. I try to edit them if I see them soon enough but I miss some too.

[redqueen]

26. See my post #4... I tend to agree with you...

however in light of all their other errors... I indulge in a little giggling.

[Laurab]

31. It's not groupthink, really it isn't

it's fact. I don't care if I make a spelling error in a post once in awhile, as everyone does, but at least on DU you don't have to spend time figuring out what the damn word is SUPPOSED to be.

The freepers spelling and grammar is unbelievably bad. In fact, I'm surprised on my rare forays into that world, when they get a whole sentence right. It goes beyond little spelling errors/mistakes - it's from the GWB school of grammar and spelling IMO.

[Inkyfuzzbottom]

15. Just curious...

does apitamy appear in the same dictionary as fasod?

[philosophie_en_rose]

17. "Stickily lies!" 'Tis a "noble jester" "casting asparagus."

:P

[Bake]

19. Naaah. Morans casting asparagus. Series!!!1!11 This is HUGH!!1!

There are far too many good ones to settle for one apitamy.

Bake

[undeterred]

21. I think freeper Ann Coulter is awfully upitamy myself.

:evilgrin:

[Forkboy]

22. They need a spelling bee before sending anyone over here.

Although when the winning word is "A" it might not help them much after all.

[Virginia Dare]

24. Sweet nectar of freedom!!!....n/t

[11 Bravo]

28. George, is that you?

Shouldn't you be out using xenophobic racial epithets to describe native-born Virginians rather than wasting your time on an internet message board?

[Kurovski]

29. I don't think anything can ever top "moran".

It is irony itself.

[Uncle Roy]

30. "Apitamy" is pretty close to how I say it. "Apiddamy" is even closah.... (nfm)

[EstimatedProphet]

32. "A-pita-my freeper morans!" - Mr. T

[Roon]

33. It's a doggy-dog world eom
