I was at a thing a couple of weeks ago, there were about 12 of us and people decided to order food, it said that it was split into two which we guessed was because of it being a big order and weight limits or something. Anyway all the food showed up with the first delivery, but a second driver arrived regardless and was like yeah they just gave me an empty bag. I don't understand??

I made a specific decision several years back to cut out "stupid", "idiot", "moron", etc from my vocabulary and honestly even if we set aside any ethical considerations I think it's forced me to either:

  • be nicer because the only thing I had to say was one of those words
  • articulate what was actually wrong with the thing that the person did or said

Both of these options generally lead to a better world, imo. I would recommend this to anyone, even if they don't agree that it's not great morally to call people stupid.

the word spelled never looked wrong to me (spelt is the british english version) but now it really looks weird to me
