Your point is invalid. There are plenty of people on social media who can't spell.

I hate hate hate HATE when these posts use "hooman" in place of human. I pronounce it in my mind how it's spelled and it's just so obnoxious that it actually increases my fucking heart rate. It's not a misspelling, it's a completely different made-up word.

Counterpoint: You don't have to be smart to own a social media account.

Thought that trend died in the 2010s.

Plenty of humans are smart enough to create social media accounts but are completely incapable of stringing together a coherent thought.

So you're saying dogs are astroturfing?!

It's absolutely OK for a dog to ask for help during setup. Once that is done, they can probably use the account in their own.

Does this also hold for sloths?

[–] DasFaultier@sh.itjust.works 3 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

Absolutely.

They know how to spell. But it must be very difficult to type with paws.

Spelling correctly as the basic indicator of intelligence? Does it mean those suffering of dyslexia are stupid? And do we become dumb when using a foreign language? And how to treat cases of words like "colour"/"color"?

Also, would I speak dogs language with mistakes, rather than not at all, would it make more or less smart?
