Miscellaneous: Today, I corrected someone who spelled "learned" as "learnt"...

Today, I corrected someone who spelled "learned" as "learnt" on my favorite forum. Nothing could've prepared me for the torrent of abuse that followed from the non-American members. Now I'm banned for "trolling," and all my 7,000+ posts since 2006 are gone forever. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I was on my favourite forum when I saw a guy ranting at some pro-lifer fanatic. For fun, I replied "umad bro?" apparently moments after the forum founder also left an angry reply. I'm now banned for a month for "trolling the founder" and all my posts have vanished without a trace. FML

He deserved it. Snapping ain't cool unless you're a turtle.

Today, I learned that I may have caused a public speaker and author to be fired, because my response to his "open chat" question flustered him, causing him to lose his cool and snap at me. FML

Today, I made a Discord account for the first time and got banned, even though I hadn't even logged in. Like, how is that possible? FML

Today, after nearly 19 years, my Facebook account was permanently disabled because I'd banned too many scammers. I admin 58 groups, for over 2 million members, and have banned 50k+ fake accounts. One of them apparently reported me, and since Facebook runs some fake accounts, it was easier to ban me. FML

Today, I was playing my favorite online game when I had to use the bathroom. While I was away for five minutes, my little sister went on my laptop, typed the “N-word” in chat, and got me banned. FML

Don't believe the memes

By Bullshit detector - 28/11/2024 16:00 - Ireland

Today, I corrected someone about a "fact" I'd learned online. They immediately pulled up a search on their phone to prove me wrong. It appears that I'd been confidently spreading a meme as if it were the truth. FML

338- At the risk of being attacked... I've often heard that some Americans have a tendency to diregard certain countries and as a result are ignorant about what's what. What you just said pushes me towards believing that claim. Anyway, back to the matter at hand, not everyone who uses forums use English as a first language so if you can understand what they mean get on with your life. I'm South African and I speak Zulu 1st language and I'm sure less than 1% of the world's population has ever heard that word so I'm forced to communicate in a language I only LEARNT to speak fluently at the age of 18. It's really irritating to have people constantly correcting you when you are commenting or posting on social sites. When I'm writting reports I'll drill my brain for "proper" English but not when I'm relaxing and having a good laugh on FML.
