If your irony meter is malfunctioning, maybe I can help you. I think you have it placed too close to your own posts. When you claim that someone else can't read or write English, and describe them as "illiterare", that just plays havoc with an irony meter.
I don't have a spell checker, since I post via slrn.
Then engage the brain. You should be able to look at a post before sending and spot great glaring errors like this.
There were not "great glaring errors", only small spelling errors.
The greatness and the glaringness are based on the context. The mistake of writing "since the person hasnt invited" (as you did in the post about your irony meter) was noticed but not called out. But, to misspell "illiterate" when you are calling someone else illiterate is both great and glaring.Evidently, your defense is that you have nothing to engage.Sandman
Engage?
The reference to engaging the brain?
You have a manual shift vehicle? Ever engage the clutch to put the vehicle into gear?
Illiterate can mean "uncultured and poorly eductaed",You just *can't* be serious! Every time you get near that word "illiterate" your mind goes into some kind of sleep mode.
"which is clearly the meaning I used it in."You remind me of one of those small cars that careens into the center ring at the circus. One just knows that a large number of clowns will spill out. (No pom poms, though)
In your case, when the word "illiterate" appears in one of your posts one knows that a series of literacy errors will follow.
"...the meaning I used it in."?
