    As already pointed out, I was referring to the first panel (that contains an adjective).

    It’s a common misconception that two words written with a space can’t be a compound noun but that’s wrong. It’s an arbitrary writing convention that has nothing to do with linguistic categories.

    I wanted just to use this opportunity to educate. Nothing really wrong with the meme though, I totally like it!

      Thanks, and good point. Your first comment was legitimately the first one I read as soon as I woke up (and pre-caffeine infusion), so I apologize for reading it too quickly, misunderstanding, and being short with you.

      Usually ‘not to be that guy’ statements are persnickety, and I find them frustrating in general, since that level of pedantry is a large part of why I left previous SM platforms.

      Again, sorry. I’ve since slithered out of bed, and evolved through the necessary phases of human evolution required to interact with people.

      wipes egg off of face

        No worries 😉

        I guess I need another wording for my “this isn’t against you but let me point out this random fact”-comments. Because I really do hate to the that guy.
