Has Anyone Else Noticed This?

Since joining this group I’ve noticed one poster that habitually uses words that are similar in sound or spelling but inaccurate in terms of the context of the intended sentence.

These postings appear to be random substitutions of words like “deflate” instead of “declare” and “indirection” when the syntax calls for the word “insurrection.”

I believe the phenomena is called “malapropism,” in this case it doesn’t appear that the poster intends to do it. Could it be a result of using a chatbot or some AI tool?

I suspect it is unchecked spell check recommendations, or selecting the wrong word offered by the phone. But, it’s his board and he do whatever the hell he wants.

Voice recognition in the phone probably.

Looks like we have a new hall monitor on board.

It is from typing one fingered in my hand brace. Here I’ll show you. It’s prone to errors and when driving it’s hard to double check my work.

That and I’ve always been prone to typos on my phone. Large hands, small phones.

I make lotsa mistrakes too, but I tri and ketch them before I hit the save buttin. :slightly_smiling_face:

On my computer they’re mostly caught but not on the phone.

Please don’t text and drive. Do you have carpel tunnel, I have it too and trigger fingers. make some things difficult.

Starting to get it. Why the brace is on. Some days are good. Some are bad. I’m not ready for surgery, so I’m trying other methods.

A massage gun while painful works well

Careful, he may go crying to Mod5!!!

:rofl:

I did that in honor of you. I knew you’d get the reference but sister guessed it. Early signs of carpal tunnel.

I had a trigger finger for a couple of months. I got rid of it with an injection of cortisone at the affected point of the tendon.

I got that shot in both my fingers, (one on each hand) and it helped sooo much. It will be a year in September and the problem is back. I will probably get the shot again.

On edit, maybe it will be 2 years in Sept. I lose track of time.

My husband had surgery for carpel tunnel syndrome on both hands in 2013 that went very well. Then when he was diagnosed with AL (Amyloid Light Chain) Systemic Amyloidosis in 2018 he was told that he probably had it since 2013 because carpel tunnel syndrome is a symptom of Amyloidosis. That really surprised is because carpel tunnel syndrome is very common while Amyloidosis is very rare so we never thought about it at the time

I probably have it, or tendonitis, but haven’t really addressed it with doc. Shoulder procedure this week.

@mcarley

Hope your shoulder procedure goes well with the best results possible

That’s the next step. Right now I’m doing massage, brace and exercises.

Thanks; procedure is pretty simple. Recovery sounds less fun.

Sounds like my toe!!

I have a retired orthopod friend who recommended waiting a few months to see if it would go away on it’s own and then if needed, take the shot. I gave it a couple of months, no change, and then after the one shot it was gone in less than a week.

He drew a picture of it and it looks like trying to pull a lump in a fishing line through a fishing rod guide. When the lump passes through it makes that toggle effect.
