That ferret guy. I don't trust nonhumans.

Well that aint going to happen, I tried and failed. There is something distinctly off with people who don't trust nonhumans.

You did okay; things just got a little out of hand, that's all.

understatement :lol:

Any particular reason why you remove smilies from quotes , it now looks like I was off with Fey , not that I care he's a nonhuman hater :wink:

It also makes me look like a nonhumans hater :twisted:

To keep the nesting of multiple quotes from taking over the page. I also delete consecutive line-feeds for the same reason.

Is that a kind of just right OCD that some Aspies have ?

Perfectionism or “just right” is a category of OCD where individuals often experience an overpowering internal sense that the balance, order, place, frequency or position of something is disturbed and must be corrected.

Yeah ... maybe ... I also try to correct capitalization, grammar, punctuation, and spelling errors, except for sentences ending with prepositions, and except where doing so would change the literal meaning.

So yeah ... maybe ...

:oops:

I tend to correct things from time to time too.

A friend is having some construction done and the printed slogan on the overalls is supposed to say "surpassing your expectations" but came out as "su(p)pressing your expectations".

I once saw a sign for "Assorted Ladies' Underwear".

I really hope it meant "Ladies' Assorted Underwear", but I'll never know.

A dyslexic co-worker has a sign on his wall that says, "lysDexics Untie!"

At least ... that's what the voices tell me ...

If I was still hearing voices I might have taken offense to that. Fortunately for me they've stopped.

If they start up again, just poke 'em with a q-tip. It works! :mrgreen:

Maybe we should get one from some of each timezones?

I also thought about it - having the whole day and night covered by some moderator activity could help react to issues before they escalate.

With the weird sleeping hours of autistics does this matter?

The same thought struck me lol, but regardless of time zones and jobs, people have lives outside of WP.

My GF is badly dyslexic and it's taught me so much about how difficult life can be for someone with dyslexia , it parallels ASD in a lot of respects regarding communication - written and verbal.

A dyslexic is someone who lies awake at night, wondering if there really is a dog.
