    I’ve never understood this meme - restaurant isn’t even a remotely difficult word to spell. I don’t think I’ve genuinely ever seen anyone in the real world past first grade who misspells it.

    Why do we keep regurgitating these weird pop culture opinions with no basis?

    I put this right up there with acting like anyone has ever actually given a shit if another person eats pineapple on pizza or pretending to dislike the word “moist.”

    We don’t have to repeat shit just because we heard somebody else say it.

      Once, while working a blue collar job, I encountered a person who didn’t know the word “citrus”.

      They tried sounding it out: “sigh-truss” is where they landed.
