I dunno why I put three "Ts" in typewriter... dementia?

It was only two "Ts". Better clean your glasses.

Thank Christ you were a teacher and not
an "airplane mechanic". We'd have aircraft
falling out of the sky like confetti at a wedding.

Isn't Typewritter the person using the typerwiter?

Abo

That'd be the Typist.

Really? You thought I was being serious?

Abo

No... just lame

I took it to mean you had three "Ts" in a row where only one or two belonged. The first "T" belongs there, it is the pair that is the mistake.

And you should throw rice or flower petals at a wedding. Any missed by the cleaning people are edible by the local critters while the confetti (unless rice paper) just has to decompose over time, often a looooooooooooong time for some types of confetti (I have seen tin foil and plastic confetti.)

And I also thank the Deity you weren't a teacher since your communication skills were somewhat lacking and unclear on that.
So let us just agree to disagree or misunderstand each other in peace and harmony.

Guys, your age is showing. I don't know about down under but about 20 years ago the education establishment changed it from "typing" to "keyboarding" in the US. I think that was some Department of Education desk jockey doing something to justify his/her salary and use of space and air while demonstrating how progressive they were.

Thank you so much for correcting my error. How foolish I was for not knowing
there is only one "t" in "typewriter" Jerl. Laugh my arse off.

That is not what I said, you need to read what I wrote, not what you think/expected me to write.

First "t" typewritter is correct and not really part of the problem.
The pair of "Ts" typewritter is the mistake it should be a single "t" yet the way you worded it as using 3"Ts" instead of two puts the first one in question also. Someone really ignorant about English spelling might think the word should have been typed ypewritter.
And though I am sure somewhere there is someone whose accent makes it "ypewritter or ypewriter" it isn't any US or Australian accent I know of.

At first glance I expected to find you had typed it as typewrittter.

Now that we have killed a bunch of time misunderstanding each other let us move on.

How is your weather? With you starting winter and me starting summer maybe we can plead with the Deity to swap some of our weather with each other and even things out at something comfortable for both of us.

Here it is so hot locals are finding birds dead of the heat around their feeders - I plan to put up some misters over the water dishes - I found some on line that only use 1/2 gal per hour. So put some of the water dishes in the shade and the main bird bath under a frame with 4 of those misters surrounding it. Two gallons an hour to save the birds and if I position a bunch of my potted plants around it I won't have to worry so much about them. Our first 100°F heat wave a bit over a month ago came while I wasn't feeling good and killed two of my smaller potted trees. Both since got a few green leaves but died again despite being watered and even fertilized.

The city I live in is asking us to cut water use by 50% and except for trees and flower beds they are suspending the rule that you have to keep you lawn green. My yard guy wants to rip up my lawn and put in new sod of a low water grass when he replaces my sprinklers with underground drip lines. So I now water the flowers, potted plants and trees by hand with a hose and am letting the grass die with plans for him to rip things up at the end of summer and put in the new stuff.

That is exactly what you said; however you lack the capacity to join
the dots of the (very mildly) abstract.

AND

1. You "corrected" me, It was only two "Ts". Better clean your glasses."
"however the error is yours ie I said I spelled typewriter with three "t"s ( as in Typewritter)..
COUNT THEM BUD!

2. Then you insulted me... by telling me to get my "eyes checked".

The evidence proclaims you are a second rate, stupid, ignorant pedagogue.

Don't respond to my posts again.

OK, a blanket apology for getting you upset through a misunderstanding and my not resisting the urge to go into "correction mode".
Do have good day.

Abo

The urge was more like "incorrection mode" bud.

It's not an accident if it goes off unexpectedly. It's careless, sloppy and dangerous. The user should have an empty chamber and learn how to quick draw and move a round into the chamber. No excuses. These are the people who blow their own heads off while cleaning their weapons.
