    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      @Axtremus said in Mispronunciation is racist:

      doucehey

      "Douce Hey?"

      Wouldn't "Hey, Douce" be more appropriate?

      If there are two of them ("douce") which one are you addressing?

      Are typos racist? Particularly if they haven't been proofread?

      I think in this case the proper spelling would be douche. As in bag.

          I feel bad for all those cnn people, they were so obviously hurt by the mispronunciation.

            Can you imagine going around life being so easily offended?

              They're not that easily offended though. They're just eager for the opportunity to catch an enemy in the act of being offensive, so they can set the shaming machinery against them.

              Education is extremely important.

                      I think about the line “you’re offended...so what, nothing happens!” ALL the time.

                        Please love yourself.
