#fuck you spellcheck; I spelled hyperbolically right the first time; and it turns out search engine says you're stupid

One more thing, I really like descriptive forms of stuff (term I've taken from linguistics in descriptive vs prescriptive, and just kind of apply it to everything)
Like, fridge is still a bit nasty smelling, not as bad as before but... I'm not happy Bob, I'm not happy
Was thinking about how I should clean it out on trash day, but then I was like "descriptively speaking, there's no way after 6+ hours in the car that day that I'm gonna feel up to dealing with that, so I just need to push it off to next week", and you know what? I was 100% right
As usual I feel like I've been beaten with sticks (literally, not hyperbolically, that's legit a pretty close approximation to how I feel)
So I was 100% right to predict I'd have trouble even dealing with the normal trash (especially cause I knew it was gonna be harder than usual thanks to one of the cats having diarrhea and missing the litterbox yesterday so... I knew it would suck when I got to it today... keeping up with the bathroom is pretty overwhelming at this point between the cat duties and the busted pipe)
So yeah... just better to describe things as they are without assigning any value and simply talk about what would happen instead of what should happen
#fuck you spellcheck; I spelled hyperbolically right the first time; and it turns out search engine says you're stupid#you just don't know a simple word like hyperbolically because you're an ignorant fool#I'd forgive a person for not knowing it; but not the thing that exists to know words#I will always rub your nose in it when I know a word you don't#people are never dumb for not knowing a word#but you... you only exist to know words#it's sort of like the time my english teacher told me baleful isn't a word#normal people I wouldn't care about; but maam you should know better#(I liked her; she was a nice person; but there's a few ways where it's like... she wasn't the best teacher)
