I see this type of problem EVERYWHERE - I recently read a book published by Simon and Schuster, and stopped counting when I came across the fifth typo/homophone...
I suspect it’s a losing battle at this point.

Whenever anyone says “You can’t do boy scout Superman in the 21st Century, it wouldn’t work, we’re too cynical and jaded” I point to Cap.
The past tense of “lead” is “led”. Do you all need a proofreader at Giz media? I see this type of problem kinda a lot there, and it’s frustrating.
...you know, while RDJ rightly gets a shitton of credit for how his portrayal of Tony Stark basically gave the MCU the shot of life it needed, Chris Evans might be the best in the MCU, in terms of acting skill.
I totally think he should be in the Black Widow movie. It should be set in Budapest in the past, and he should be presented as part antagonist, part sidekick with BW constantly getting the better of him, but also constantly being stymied by his irritating luck and refusal to just die.
But without the farm, there would be no wood to chop, and with no wood to chop, there would not be this:
I have a business which does pretty well in Google search results. I would estimate that about 75% of the phone calls I receive to this business on a daily basis are robot callers, spammers, opportunists and SEO-ripoff bullshit. I have to take these calls in case they’re new business. I cannot describe how much I hate…
I agree with this to an extent.
While I don’t like techno babble, I also hate over-simplification.
Example: In “The Core” (a terrible movie) they demonstrate what would happen to the Earth without an atmosphere by using a fire and a can of hairspray to roast a peach. Its a painfully stupid example for stupid people.
Or you know smart people use the big words because they are not ashamed of their knowledge and forced to dumb themselves down for everyone else.
I’d agree if she was talking to a non-technical person, but this is exactly when you’d have the characters using jargon.
Ah, yes. North America, that noted historical “homeland” of white people...
Maybe it’s just me, but I would have watched as many WWII-era Captain America films as they could make. :P
To see a game at Wrigley, to check out ‘Sunday on La Grande Jatte’ at the Art Institute and to get some fantastic Vienna hot dogs. Why the hell else would anyone go to Chicago?
“We promise we didn’t forget about Hawkeye.”
It is not just you or that experience alone, I was never given opportunity for many jobs for the same reason, I once had target warehouse refuse me when I asked if they weren’t hiring me because there was a lift 40 lb (which i assured them i could do) requirement they said well it’s also a night shift and just guys…
Ah, yes, the lesser known “right to ad revenue” clause in the First Amendment.
Yeah, but Stef....
Also, not to derail too much, but can we also talk about how Duckie Dale taught a generation of guys that pushy, entitled, Nice Guy behavior was quirky and adorable rather than being borderline stalkery?
Me included, by the way. I spent a LOT of my teens acting like garbage because I thought I was a Manic Pixie…
God I’m so sick and tired of Fixer Upper marathons on HGTV. They are on all day every day and it’s mystifying because that woman seems to design the same house over and over. “Oh look! A 1920's shotgun house! Let’s make the interior look exactly like the farmhouse, and the Victorian, and the Craftsman!” Every single…
I am fine with the tubby, physically unattractive trope as long as the guy has redeeming qualities. Like a Har Mar Superstar, Jack Black, or Zach Galifianakis type where they actually have talent and physical comedic ability. Not this crap where he is over weight, whines and complains about his hot and talented wife,…
