Thongs or Things
Posted: Wed Nov 22, 2023 5:22 am
This is meant as a lighthearted post, but it's something that I've noticed more and more and has me wondering why it keeps happening especially on this forum. Why does the word thong(s) often become thing(s) in a written paragraph? Should we blame predictive text or auto correction, or is it because the letters i and o are next to each other on the keyboard and our clumsy fingers hit the wrong one? Could it be that Governments around the world are worried that men in thongs will become the dominant force sending the boring boxer shorts market into oblivium, and as a result, have instructed all software companies to automatically change thong to thing? I'm not being paranoid, but the word thong in that last sentence has a jagged line underneath which usually highlights an error. WE'RE DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!!!
