Are you round, blonde and smoke like a chimney?

Well thank you for the attempt at humour, went straight over my head though.

Sorry, was humour.

Constantly having to remind yourself that "humour" is wrong, and "nanometre" is wrong - you sure you want that job? Also, not sure of that but I think that the way you count floors in a building is wrong too.

There are many things I want, the job is definitely not one of them. Don't have the patience or commitment and would just end up with a monitor with a fist in it. You don't count floors when you just jump from the top. A laugh would be nice but I get penalised for that.

Oh, everyone knows it's metre and not "meter" just like it's humour and not humor, betwixt and not between, and so on.

It wasn't you, thank fuck for that! I could type like that if I put my mind to it, it's just I have so much going on in my non-jokey personal life, I'd be sacked in a week.

Betwixt is older English, but I like it.

Probably not.

My comment was also humour with a bit of sarcasm but it's hard to express it through text.

sarcasm /s

And also of these classics:

Hey, hey! Svensk and norsk? I wonder why they have the same text on the goods' labels? /s
Also, German is the root of the rest, so not a bit deal.

DK, NO SV, offen use same labels, we all understand its meaning tho.

What is required for proof reader? Spell checking... fact checking? All needed of course.....

trparky · Jul 27, 2022

Yeah, why not. I'd do it. People have often told me that I can detect misspelled words just by looking at them (they just look funny to me).
