But you DID think "Best Buy was a nationally known camera store (B&H)."
No, I did not. That's an incorrect statement. I was talking about Best Buy the entire time, but I accidentally typed "B&H" for whatever reason I can't explain myself.
You started off by reading my use of B&H as referring to a store 'in the Loop'
and you went on to several times type B&H when you had Best Buy in mind. It wasn't just a one-time slip.Correct.
It took several prods from others for you to wake up and acknowledge your error.No, just one, this one:

"We have already established that Jonas has mixed up and misidentified a Florida Best Buy as B&H Photo Video of NYC. B&H has no presence in any State other than NY. Its global online reach negates that necessity."
That was the post that made me see my error. This is my response:

"Wow, my bad. You know, I didn't even stop to think about it. I have been talking about Best Buy, yes. Sorry about the confusion."
What surprised me about this more than anything else was that you seemed unaware of B&H.Why does that surprise you? As it is an American store that exists only in NY, I have no relation to it. I obviously seen its name before, and mistakenly did some form of weird connection between it and B&H, like a foreigner that connects the swedish store chains IKEA and ICA.
I didn't misread once, and mistyped five times. Or rather, I didn't "mistype" as in misspelled. I just didn't stop to think that perhaps "B&H" isn't an abbreviation of "Best Buy", since it's not the correct letters, and contains an "&". I just typed without thinking, and I have no problem admitting to my error.SandmanEric Stevens
It was just a normal mistake, a normal mindburp which I didn't think about for one second. At no point in time did I think "Best Buy was a nationally known camera store". At no point did I think "B&H" was in Florida, at no point did I think I had visited "B&H", I just mistyped.
Yeah: you both mistrped and misread over and over again.
How? All I remember is you asking me if I've been to NY, which told me nothing about the matter, given the fact that I had no idea B&H was NY-only.SandmanEric Stevens
Tony, being a certified troll and asshole, took the chance to make a HUGE deal out of this (where normal adults like Savageduck only went "Oh, just a mistake, gotcha") ...
... and I gently prodded you at least twice ...
Had you said "Eh, Sandman, B&H exists only in NY, are you really writing this correctly", then you would have "prodded" and helped me find my error.
No reply? How predictable.SandmanSo where is Tony's lie?Many people would consider that to be a deliberate lie. Certainly I do.
"when you thought Best Buy was a nationally known camera store."Have you told him yet? No, of course not.I do too, you should tell that to Tony.
