Apparently kinder also make a ‘maxi’ and a ‘maxi king’ bar. I can only imagine what they look like…

That’s fine that you are a “Proud Pedant” but JD already told you (correctly) that you were wrong. Are you actually doubling down on a blunder?

I don’t think “doubling down” means what you think it means.

I’m guessing cjb was not being defensive, just having fun. I’d call it self-effacing humor. Not everything is meant to be taken literally.

You and I certainly see many things differently. IMO, cjb has no sense of humor at all so I doubt that they were “just having fun”.

I’m pretty sure it was intentional. Regardless, it was funny.

No. First cjb made an unintentional mistake.

After you corrected him, he wrote something funny using himself as the foil.

That is the very definition of self-effacing humor, if it was intentional.

The main reason I think it was intentional is, it’s exactly what I would do given the same opportunity.

The second reason is, it was a response to your (almost certainly intentionally) humorous correction. You set it up and set the context with that.

The third reason is, I think it was too good to have been a mistake.

A lot, Jack. A lot is real, real wrong with me, and I need some serious help, but I don’t know where to turn for such specialized assistance. Using words to say a word is not a word is really, really, wrong, wouldn’t you say? Gosh, I wish there was some way I could be helped for doing just that, because something is definitely, really wrong with me. Can you please help me? I beg of you, please! I don’t wanna live like this anymore!

While we’re on that topic, I thought “kinder” meant it was for children. Because how could an inanimate candy bar be kind?

But you have to be 18 or older to get one free.

You are conflating homonyms with homophones. If there was audio included on the link my browser blocked it.

The basis of the joke was that the two printed words are indistinguishable. The “18 or older” requirement made it irresistible to comment.

November 25, 2024 22:00

Karl If you care about the audio, scroll down and push the blue play buttons.

I was staying completely out of the humor contest. I was just trying to be helpful regarding the original pronunciation, as the candy comes from Germany.

I did. Were you aware that the comment had nothing to do with what I thought “kinder” meant? Did you notice I led with “While we’re on that topic…” in direct response to your ‘But “pedant” is…’ comment?

I thought your pedant comment was pretty funny. I assumed the humor was intentional which is why I continued in the same vein. Are you saying you didn’t get it? Or are you just deadpanning with a literal answer? On the interwebs, I can’t tell.

JD
JD (@guest_1959142)
November 26, 2024 02:18

Yeah, I got it…my comment was specific to your “how could an inanimate candy bar be kind” line and meant to be funny as well.

Karl,

I might not know much about different forms of humor but I do know that it’s pretty hard to “deadpan” when you are “laughing out loud”, like JD revealed that they were doing, in their initial reply to you.

Karl
Karl (@guest_1959709)
November 26, 2024 18:42

You’re right and that’s why I almost never use an emoji or an lol.

It is a dilemma because if you reveal it, it doesn’t work. But if you don’t, a large percentage of readers will assume it’s meant to be taken literally. Definitely works better with body language.

I’m not sure about JDs lols though. He usually leaves those out when he says something funny. But he often uses lol to mean the opposite. More like shorthand for lol/s.

I didn’t really believe he intended deadpan but maybe he did and he deserved the benefit of the doubt.

JD

JD,

Now I am extremely offended! All of the times that you wrote “lol” at something that I said you were actually mocking me? 😀

Karl,

I definitely agree with what you wrote. Many times people couldn’t tell that I was joking about something so I started using emojis to make it clear. That doesn’t seem to work either. ☹

Yawn. Obviously I am a dick, not so obvious is that I already knew it was “in the dictionary”… happens all the time when slang becomes popularized, no matter how dumb it sounds (this word is a case in point). All you lame-ass normies think you’re humiliating me by pointing out my “ignorance” of said “rule”? Gimme a break. Go ahead and use stupid sounding words, you’re free to sound like morons, but I’m gonna call you out on it if I’m bored.
