Should we point out that in this context it's 'save', not 'safe'? If you're going to correct someone's spelling, make sure your own is impeccable.

Nah. It's engagement bait, plane and simple

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 42 points 6 days ago

It works too well… plain and simple.

That missing period had better also have been intentional.

This post permanently lowered my IQ

Science jargon has always sounded so impressive until I took anatomy.

for example, the big hole in the bottom of your skull (where the spinal chord passes through) is called the “foramen magnum” which is Latin for ‘big hole’.

The amount of grammatical mistakes in your own comment is pretty ironic as well.

Muphry's Law strikes again.
