It's like buying a tiara for your fetus, before you even buy a crib.

You are right that I was unnecessarily rude. I apologize.

But I honestly do want to know why you just ignore the red misspelling squiggle, when you misspell a word. I guess I have mild OCD or something, because I simply CANNOT ignore that shit. It's an absolutely foreign concept, for someone to just be like "nah, I'm right about that word. I know better than the actual dictionary."

Again: I'm really, truly not trying to be rude anymore. I'm genuinely trying to understand your behavior.

I'm not them, for the record. But personally, I turned browser spellcheck off years ago; I have a lot of fantasy/scifi hobbies, and it often highlighted words that are correct but not in a dictionary, which was annoying, so I just shut it off. And also because it doesn't really matter, from a linguistic point of view; the purpose of language is to be understood, so as long as a typo doesn't detract from my meaning, I don't care. It'd be different if I was writing a business email, but I'm not, I'm shitposting on reddit, so who gives a fuck?
