when someone starts insulting your grammar and typing, you know you've won the argument
- Periods exist. /s
  
  Yeah but some men find it uncomfortable to talk about them.
  
  i hear nowadays, it's considered rude to end a single sentence with a period.
  
  no – period
- One exception, the argument is about spelling or grammar then it’s kinda invited mockery. Aside from that you’re just dealing with an ableist, dyslexia is the most common learning disability
  
  Dyslexia is common, but people for whom english is not their first language, whose learning is still in progress. Those are even more common on the internet.
  
  i do have a problem with intentionally mutilating words tho... like "parentification" and "enshitification"...
  although the second is a little bit funny...
  or when people intentionally redefine words... like racism as meaning "systemic and systematic racism as experienced by non-whites by whites in america" and as such it's impossible to be "racist" against white people...
  but it's just stupid... racism and "systemic racism" are two different concepts...

Uhmmmm Akšually!! 🤓🤓 its spelled Hepi valentajns dej 🤓🤓🤓
- Czechs out

I was on the web page for Pokémon Go today and there’s some valentines event that they called “Palentine’s day” and I read through it twice before I realized it didn’t say Palestine every time. I feel like they probably had to turn autocorrect off for that one.

Why are we setting berd on fire now?
- there was a landmine around the corner. had to be done.
- It's just...so very racist. 1950's Kentucky racist.

The typological fallacy fallacy.
- I like that site. Now to get some Thinking Merch.

Let's be fair, your argument was already an inferno.
- Argumentum ad populum. Just because my arguments aren’t popular, doesn’t mean they’re not logically true.

It gets funnier when you realize Berd made a video about exactly how the Internet responds to typos in arguments:
