[Ads-l] Read in on-line comments

[imwitty]

Ha! I could make muuuuch bigger list ... if I would want to spend my time
on that ... 😂. Sometimes people correct themselves, sometimes are
corrected (friendly or not) by somebody else. Definitely, there are quite a
few illiterate commenters, but very often it is big fingers on the small
(smartphone, etc.) keyboard, or the autocorrect feature.
By the way, I recently found an interesting abbreviation (new to me).
S.C.U.M., meaning "So-Called-Unbiased-Media."
Disclaimer: I am not the author of it, just a humble reader of on-line
comments... if they are worth it (not trolls attacks.) 😋

variations in spelling and grammar enhance
its individual character and beauty and in no
