Misspelling words while trying to get someone on the minutiae of word usage on the Internet. Priceless!

In case you were unaware, there is another misspelled word in the above post as well! Can you find it?

So you're admitting you used the word "literally" incorrectly. Good job, self realization is important in life... unless you are still trying to find proof that Spooner is indeed the most stubborn person on the internet. I'm waiting for your "proof" of that. Good luck... Tick tok...

 

[Sabula]

And BTW, voice typing may indeed misspell something on my phone. I'm ok with that. Don't care. I appreciate you keeping a close eye on me. (Wait... does that make YOU my stalker?) You, however, have no excuse for thinking you are using a word correctly when you are not... then trying to double down on that error. That's hubris. Or stupidity.

Nice deflection, MR. Word Misspeller!

I used it the EXACT way I meant to use it. The fact that you hang on my every word when I don't even think about you until you respond to me should tell you all you need to know about stalking. But, hey, let's not forget this is fun for me. Don't bring a knife to a tank fight. You aren't skilled enough to sneak into the tank and use it!

Says the guy who can't figure out how to use the word "literally" accurately. And now finally admits he intended to use it incorrectly. Wow. But that's growth on your part. Good job! BTW, still waiting for your "proof" on Spooner being "literally"... "literally"... the most stubborn person on the internet. Can you tell us when you'll be providing that?

The board thinks you both are being obtuse.

Hey...I am not overweight at all!

 

[TheREALSpooner]

Is that your new thing to put "standard" at the end of every point? I like it.

Much like cutting the sleeves off a hooded sweatshirt- I don't know why you are doing it but it seems cool!

Standard!

 

[TheREALSpooner]

It is used perfectly. There is no exaggeration as it is a 100% accurate modifier. Spooner is LITERALLY the most stubborn person on the internet. You can argue otherwise, but everyone here knows it to be true!

But, hey, thank you for digging hard to come at me for "misusing a word". Normally I don't nitpick, but it may not be the best timing to misspell suRprised when attacking some for specific word usage!

At least I don’t almost completely lack self awareness.

Too bad this isn't a wrestling site???

Is this sarcasm? A joke, right? If not, lol, you're not the judge of that. The internet is ultra vast. And it's certainly not everyone, because even I don't think it's true. As a matter of fact, I know it's not true. I guarantee you a poster named "coachsparky" from years back was indeed worse.

And I'm not going to take the route of exercising that much hubris to make such an audacious statement, but, come on, you alone probably have him beat in that department.

If you guys can’t pick up the LITERAL intent of my LITERAL posts by now, I LITERALLY feel sorry for you…LITERALLY!

 

[LIV4GOD]

It's probable I don't get what you're up to with the "literal" stuff. But, then again, I probably read about 1% of your posts overall. I get a couple words in and it just seems you're addicted to arguing, so I quit reading most of the time.

 

[huntinghawk]

"literally"?? Obviously an exaggeration for effect, always easily spotted. I'm suprised you're one of those people in the world that misuse that word, using it as an inaccurate modifier. Rather than it's literal meaning.

Suprised

No dog in this fight but you came after him. That makes you the stalker . Just trying to keep things accurate since you were so concerned with starting an argument over something so stupid. Now I'm doing the same thing fullyy realizing how stupid it is.

I hope you realize that doesn't help your stance. Saying I don't read more than 1% of what you post, but then arguing against what I post isn't the most salient argument...

 

[MSU158]

The board thinks you both are being obtuse.

Now this was a well thought out response, with perfect delivery. A perfect usage of obtuse deserves solid praise and shows you have been paying attention!

 

[Random4598375]

You've never said anything dumber and more wrong.

If only that were the case. LOL.

 

[ctoun]

The board thinks you both are being annoying.

FIFY

 

[MSU158]

If only that were the case. LOL.

If only you didn't follow me around like cute little puppy dog in need of my attention.

 

[LIV4GOD]

You probably don't know my stance. I've argued against a few posts I've read in totality that are incorrect.

 

[MSU158]

You probably don't know my stance. I've argued against a few posts I've read in totality that are incorrect.

I was simply pointing out how you didn't help yourself by immediately poking holes in yourself. Much like the use of "literally" you stating they were 'incorrect" as a matter of fact brought me a nice contradictory laugh. Well done!

I didn't poke holes in myself. As I said, which you now verify to me, you don't really understand my stance.

You obviously missed his multiple posts where he weirdly and repeatedly accused someone that simply responded to him as "stalking" him. So it's understandable that you also missed the sarcasm in my accusing him of the same. Ill forgive you.

 

[CarolinaHawkeye]

I feel safe saying this. This has to be the lowest amount of bonus point wins out of an Iowa team since Kurdelmeier was coaching. One lack of total matches but we also just don't have the bonus type guys in the lineup. And with Mikey, Patrick and Drake graduating- dare I say- it could be lower next season.

Somebody look that up but I don't feel all that crazy saying that Doc. I dont think you think its all that crazy either.

How long did Kurdelmeier coach when bonus points were a thing?

 

[CarolinaHawkeye]

Detroit didn’t sell out. We had 4 all session tickets. We couldn’t get close to face value. After the quarterfinals we sold them all to a scalper for $50 bucks. As we went into the arena on the night of the finals, the scalper still had the finals tickets we sold him and said he didn’t sell any of the tickets he purchased from us.

Maybe it's time to bring it back to Des Moines. Supposedly the problem w/Des Moines was not enough seats. But if there is fewer people going?
The last time I attended was in Des Moines, and the last time before was at the Target Center in Minneapolis.

 

[Random4598375]

If only you didn't follow me around like cute little puppy dog in need of my attention.

I get that you want me to stop responding because I'm embarrassing you, but I don't follow you around. I pop in once or twice a day to see what people are discussing and in the course of that end up mocking your nonsense and stupidity because it's just that easy.

lol, now that was funny. You really think your drivebys embarrass me? I love it. No matter what you try to say here I am firmly under your skin and you look to snipe with insults vs actually facts to refute what you are insulting me for.

it is childish and juvenile and I love it. Being in your head is rather lonely since it is so barren, but I try hard not to be too loud and crack any part of the skull!

I went to the NCAA tournament every year from 1990-2004. I went in Des Moines and once in NYC since then because I wanted to go to MSG and a buddy had really good seats. Several friends still go, but with all of the viewing access and the ability to have every mat on a screen with replay at my finger tips makes it better at home. We set up 4 big TV screens and then a few laptops on a table and we can watch the whole event while drinking and eating and being merry without spending thousands of dollars. I think it isn't lack of interest in wrestling slowing down attendance as much as the fact that viewing from home has improved so much. My peer group does the same with the BIG and big12 tournaments and we have a blast. It is harder to keep up on everything happening when you are actually there watching live. Plus they don't have Confluence Des Moines IPA on tap in these arenas. Can't watch wrestling without that.

 

[District 4]

You really like the word "obtuse".

He does while wearing his Naive shirt

Stop being obtuse- meaning annoyingly slow to learn or dim witted lmfao.

 

[District 4]

You are indeed on the internet. Which proves me 100% correct... thereby making your statement of Spooner being "literally" the most stubborn person on the internet completely incorrect... because that would be you as the most stubborn person on the internet. But again... since that statement of mine cannot ever be proven as fact, or literal, it is my opinion. Just like your statement about Spooner being the most stubborn person on the internet was your opinion, not a literal fact like you tried to sell. Which is why you used the word "literally" incorrectly. I'm surprised you are having such a hard time grasping such an easy concept. I'll dumb it down for you even more...if that's even possible, if that will help you with your struggle with word comprehension. I really am trying to help you out of the embarassing hole you are digging yourself into. 🫡

Soooooo. You're saying he's Obtuse?

 

[District 4]

Says the guy who can't figure out how to use the word "literally" accurately. And now finally admits he intended to use it incorrectly. Wow. But that's growth on your part. Good job! BTW, still waiting for your "proof" on Spooner being "literally"... "literally"... the most stubborn person on the internet. Can you tell us when you'll be providing that?

I see you are off your meds, yet again. Would you like me to call your life coach and get things sorted again for you? Your wellbeing is my main concern!

Glad you got me on your mind again today

No dog in this fight. But it does seem odd (unhealthy, sad) that you are here all day responding to a majority of posts and then you claim someone is stalking you. Random is only on a very short time each day while you seem to be here all the time. Which screams stalker. You play devil's advocate, at least I hope that is what you do, and when called out of your obviously incorrect opinion as in that nonsense that somehow Mithcell has not earned the Hodge is silly. By every metric of the voting MM is superior. Period end of story. That is FACT.

Now you will argue as you do 3 or 4 paragraphs that by your definition Mendez earned it more. However wrestling fans of every team know better. Fans should call out your nonsense Thanks for playing. Thankfully there are people like Random 4598375 to call you out when needed. Your continued calls for the status quo in the Iowa program has put the program back years. I have great respect for Iowa and the Bands Brothers as they are great ambassadors of the sport as well as the university. Wrestling needs and will have Iowa at or near the top competing for titles and team championships. The history of the program provides a road map to the future. I don't know what changes are needed as a PSU fan I will not insult Iowa fans by making suggestions or giving opinions, but the rest of the wrestling world awaits Iowa's return to the top of the pecking order.

You may need to read up on the definition of stalker. Also it takes maybe 10 minutes in total for me to post and read what I do on this board each day.

But, hey another PSU fan coming at me on an Iowa message board. Thank you for letting my know my 10 minutes of hard work per day have paid off!
