This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I've spent like 5 minutes searching and still cannot get a definitive answer. wth is the qualifier that makes a sundress "anime?"
The zoomer incel gooner that spends weeks or months ERPing in discord consumes only anime as media and does not ever see an actual woman in an actual sundress, in media or the real world.
Thus, to them, all sundresses are anime sundresses.
...y'know this explanation makes a lot of sense.
I said it because I've known quite a few zoomer hikikomori.
Its like people who only read or type words, but never actually have audible conversations with those words... they have no idea how to pronounce them.
Why would they? No relevant use case.
my friend pronounced Meme Me-Me the other day and I about died laughing
Yeah, it's may-may
Most people in general still cannot seem to figure out the difference between calvary and cavalry.
Both are pronounced as they are spelled.
Calvary is the hill Christ was crucified on.
Cavalry refers usually to soldiers mounted on horseback, though since the invention of helicopters, it also means infantry transported via helicopters.
This one doesn't seem to be caused by lack of verbal usage, it seems to just be a quite common pair of words to conflate, a very minor but widespread dyslexia/dysphasia, like nuclear and nuke-you-lur.
EDIT: An example more in line with mispronouncing meme, due to never using it aloud...
I remember in middle school when the extremely bossy, overconfident girl pronounced 'analyst' as ... anal-ist.
Oi vei, lol. Paging Dr. Proctor, paging Dr. Proctor.
Rouge vs rogue is another good one. Also, aluminum vs ah-lu-mini-um.
aluminium is as far as im concerned, the incorrect way to spell that word, im pretty sure it's a regional thing at this point.
I'm fairly sure 'alu-mini-um' s the proper UK/Aussie/NZ and possibly Canadian way to pronounce it, only Americans pronounce it alu-min-um.
But yes, rogue vs rouge is another one people mix up all the time.
"I'm sorry sire, he went rouge!" "My god! how will we get all that make up off them!?"
My work is getting a new ERP and I just got out of a long meeting about it. I'm a little disoriented.
Heh, different kind of ERP.
Nonetheless, you have my sympathies.
I've worked at a number of different places that changed ERP or CRM software, and it basically always involves a 3 month period of all kinds of insane errors happening due to people being unable to figure out a new UI.
Then also all the edge cases with bespoke workaronds from the old system just collapse completely, even if the managers were told 'hey this will break, we're gonna need to make a new workaround, please give us time to test it' and then the managers don't.... or, even more fun, the only guy or gal that even knew those edge cases existed, and made all the workarounds, they just quit, and then no one has any idea why a whole bunch of shit is broken.
We're going from QuickBooks+3 other programs to an ERP, so I'm hoping the new headaches are approximately equal to the existing ones.
Godspeed.
Hope it isn't GlobalShop. If so, good luck.
Nope
You won't find an answer.

I dunno if going around in Asuka's fit is going to make "straight" men go crazy horny, but maybe I'm not focusing enough on the crazy part. It should at least get me choked, right?
Exactly what I thought too
