Stop trying to gloss over years of cringe misspellings!

It looks better to you because you're so used to the wrong spelling

Yes, I'm sure you're right.

The alternate spelling is an RM schtick, a tradition. Let's not betray it

Tree obviously made this thread to make this joke. Post #3 in the thread. This is why someone can get away with calling this place El Culo Del Mundo.

Sorry guys that was rude.

Argonaut is right, schtick.

I think the thing that has caused me problems on this website is that I never had a shtick, unless you count "fake cis dude"

Same.

There are certainly times that I'm being funny or making jokes or whatever. But "shtick" has never been my jam. And it's taken me a long time to understand when others are doing it.

We talk about shtick a lot but very few posters are actually all shtick. Though some "do" shtick from time to time.

I think Dev and Mac are the only schtick posters in the poll.

This poll is bogus.

This poll is bogus.

Macphisto is 100% not shtick.

Otherwise, I agree.

when you're raised with these norms it feels like they're like breathing right? until you're like "actually you know what, I don't like that, sometimes my feelings are hurt", and then you eventually realise you can step off the carousel

Fair enough. I guess I just don't like thinking about Mac actually being like that in real life. It must be awful to know him.
