I had to read this out loud to reconstruct what they could’ve meant.

Sometimes voice to text does stuff like this. Sometimes they just have no idea how to spell it/say it.

Off topic: Glad to see one of my favorite (former reddit) communities seeing some activity!

Voice to text - you mean voice wreck ignition?

This seems more like an autocorrect or voice dictation issue. Isn't BoneAppleTea supposed to be someone using some misheard stand-in for what was actually said?

Yeah, that was my pet peeve on Reddit, I see it migrated here ಠ⁠_⁠ʖ⁠ಠ

Its kinda funny sometimes. My parents did stuff like that all the time and you DIDN't correct them lol. Happens in music a lot too where people fill in the blanks very closely and hilariously

Thank you... I couldn't figure out what they even meant lol. Makes perfect sense now

Is there a useless circle community?
