I had a classmate who knew that my birthday was shortly after hers. One day, she asked me “What’s your star sign?” and I replied “I’m a skeptic”. Indignant, she retorted “No, you’re not! Your birthday is in September”
Sorry you had to deal with that. Some people can be painfully obtuse. Earlier today I told my six year old kid I had a tattoo of God on my shoulder. When he saw my inkless skin I reminded him “I’m an atheist”. I can’t promise he got the joke, but he did grin. Hope that helps.
The internet is like… 40% eggcorns, malapropisms, and orthographic errors. Why do I still let it bother me? How do I let go?
Take a deep breath. Good. Another one. Great. You can do it…
Ah fuck it.
ASTRONOMY IS NOT THE SAME AS ASTROLOGY, YOU DUMMY!!!
Thank you for your service
