News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Orchid is a flower, orchard is the word you're looking for.
Yeah man...
There's now way autocorrect would have done that, clearly people don't know which of these is which
I mean, I wasn't being shitty about it, it was misused twice, so I'm trying to be helpful. Just helping op to differentiate. If they're swipe texting, it's a slightly different movement, too.
*no way
Bullshit. My autocorrect changes the most random ass shit sometimes, like I've had basic words like "if" get changed to "of" occasionally while I'm typing for seemingly no reason. I wouldn't trust it enough in general to make a claim like that.
Thanks.
I was wondering why people were down voting me, it's because I didn't put /s
Usually sarcasm is relatively obvious but the number of grammar/typo nazis on fedi is still too damn high
Well, I'd like to say that my account being the same account who got corrected would have been enough to indicate that out of literally anyone, I am the one person that would know which word I meant to type...
And that's why I could skip the "\s"
But here we are, I'm overestimating people and the \s is always required.
You want people to read usernames and actually follow a conversation before popping off in the comments?? ;)
I admit I came in hot bc as an English major and grammar nerd, pedants really chap my ass.
Buddy...
The solution here is people paying more attention to words. Not less.
But at this point I don't think I'm gonna be able to explain this or anything else, in a way you might be able to understand.
It is what is. I'm not gonna be missing much after this block.
Maybe I needed the /s this time? I thought the winky face would help. I was admitting I was wrong in my critique above
