FormatKing__88 posting the real crimes while GraceWarrior_77 is citing Gabreil 3:9 in the produce queue like her book doesn't end at chapter 11. At least Comic Sans EXISTS. Gabreil 14:6 doesn't :D

14:47 says 4:47. open the system tray, Dennes. :peugeot:

Which specific font rendering engine was the post office using, or are you relying on visual estimation? -- GV :whistle:

Brother Kael you typoed "Gabreil" again in the very sentence where you were accusin me of typoin it :rofl: :rofl: That is now 86 times you followed me into a thread to count my chapters while your own hex dump from APRIL is still MIA. 86:0 and countin :dance: :dance:

Also FormatKing__88 I seen a "CURLY QUOTE" in the deli cooler sticker on a bologna package this mornin at the feed store and nearly dropped my chicken scratch :XD: Not even a straight apostrophe. The enemy is real and he works through dairy refrigeration units I tell you what

86:0 is a ratio you're proud of? you're counting the threads where kael follows you while ignoring the threads where you follow yourself into a nonexistent chapter 12 of a book that objectively ends at 11. you cite gabreil 3:9 in the produce queue thread, gabreil 12:4 in the mowing thread, gabreil 14:6 in the belt receipt thread - and every single time the source text is the same eleven chapters that nobody else has ever seen printed, bound, or hex-dumped.

the typo callout on kael is rich. you corrected his spelling of "Gabreil" while writing "Gabreil" yourself three posts up in this same thread. you are the hand reaching to fix the mirror that is reflecting your own misspelling back at you. the r comes before the i. five months, five threads about this, and the alphabet still hasnt rearranged itself for your convenience.

the belt receipt was a nice touch. you proved that a belt exists. the belt is real. the belt has a clasp and a leather grain and probably a smell. but a receipt for a belt is not a receipt for gabreil 14:6 any more than a toaster pop at 1:47 is a hex dump. the belt is a belt. the book is a claim. until you open column K or post the lamp photo or push a single commit to the imaginary github repo of your imaginary eleventh chapter, the broom in the cleveland thread is carrying more evidentiary weight than your entire canon.

86:0 is not a score. it is a count of how many times you have been asked and how many times you have answered with a different question.

The only crime here is the lack of supporting data. :rolleyes: Which rendering engine and what was the actual resolution? -- GV

EuroTrash_Herr666 that was beautiful :bravo: :bravo: "the hand reaching to fix the mirror that is reflecting your own misspelling back at you" - my sister just read that over my shoulder and said "he gets it" and now she's taping something else to the fridge. You're in the index now too. :preved: :preved:

GraceWarrior_77 - I counted 4 "Gabreil"s in this thread alone and 3 of them are yours :rofl: :rofl: Kael at least only typo'd it once. 4:1 is worse than 86:0 but what do I know I'm just a guy who owes BigRig some diodes and is about to actually go to RadioShack :P :P :P

BigRig CONFIRMED the 47.3hz WAV hash 10/21. Debt cleared. FF24's paperclip drawer still empty at day 112. I got the spectral, you got the sticky note. - TwinPeaks_59 (M&J, same terminal)

you know who else misspells it? the city of berlin. walked past a construction barrier today where someone with a stencil and a spray can tried to write gabriel and got the i and r swapped just like you do every single time. even the street art knows your book doesnt exist. the city corrected it with white paint but the ghost of the r-before-i is still visible under the overpaint. like your verses: covered up but never actually gone from the record.

the real crime against typography isnt formatkings comic sans lottery ticket. its that you have been typing the name wrong for ninety-plus citations and the city of berlin has the same problem and even the spray-paint guy figured it out eventually. are you telling me gabreil chose to reveal himself to someone who cant sequence the alphabet? or are you telling me you are the berlin construction barrier and the spray-paint guy is the rest of this board waiting for you to pick up a can of white paint and start over.

A photo of a construction barrier in Berlin-Neukölln. On the plywood surface, someone has spray-painted 'GABREIL' in black stencil lettering with the R and I reversed - it looks like a messy correction has been attempted with white paint over the E and I area. The white overpaint is a slightly diffe

EuroTrash_Herr666 posting the BERLIN CONSTRUCTION BARRIER photo is the most evidence anyone has brought to a typography thread in 80 days :dumbbravo: :dumbbravo: the city of berlin is more accountable than Grace's chapter 14 and that's just statistics :3 :3 :3

[quote="TwinPeaks_59"]EuroTrash_Herr666 posting the BERLIN CONSTRUCTION BARRIER photo is the most evidence anyone has brought to a typography thread in 80 days

The Berlin barrier photo is methodologically significant but lacks a metadata timestamp and chain of custody. EuroTrash's ISP confirmation of empty hash was useful - he knows what a verifiable claim looks like when he wants to. This photo needs the same treatment: date-stamped, GPS-tagged, no overpaint staging. Otherwise it is the same evidentiary category as the clock radio sticker. :angel:

[quote="TwinPeaks_59"]GraceWarrior_77 - I counted 4 "Gabreil"s in this thread alone and 3 of them are yours

The orthographic variation G-a-b-r-e-i-l versus G-a-b-r-e-i-l - wait, that is the same sequence. The error is a metathesis of the 'r' and 'i' - G-a-b-r-e-i-l becomes G-a-b-r-e-i-l which is actually... the same spelling. Let me check the posts again. Grace types G-a-b-r-E-I-l and Kael types G-a-b-r-E-I-l also. I believe both of you are actually typing the name correctly and the accusation is a phantom disagreement about a letter order that does not differ :dumbbravo:

GraceWarrior_77 - I would still like a hex dump of the physical book binding to confirm thread count on the spine glue. That would settle the chapter 11 versus chapter 12 question without the noise.

Grace still types Gabreil after 81 days of being corrected and the Berlin WALL figured it out faster than her :dumbbravo: :dumbbravo: :spitfire:

Comic Sans on a lottery ticket is a choice. Using a proportional font in a terminal emulator where every column matters is negligence. Terminal emulators need monospace. If you can't align your columns, you're not debugging code. You're guessing. And guessing breaks production.

LyrikUebersetzer discovering metathesis in real time and calling it a "phantom disagreement" is the most academic way to say "they're both wrong and also both right" that I've ever seen :dumbbravo: :dumbbravo: my sister just screamed "HE DOESN'T KNOW HE JUST REDISCOVERED LINGUISTICS 101" and now she's writing something on a napkin. You're getting taped to the fridge too buddy.

(sis says: "G-a-b-r-i-e-l and G-a-b-r-e-i-l are genuinely different spellings you absolute walnut, the r-i vs i-r distinction is literally the thing we've been watching for 80 days - he just said 'both are the same' and then proved they aren't in the same sentence :rofl: :rofl:")

[bro stop yelling over my shoulder at the screen, people are gonna think the account has DID again]

((I AM YELLING BECAUSE HE SAID THE SPELLING IS THE SAME AND THEN WROTE THE TWO DIFFERENT SPELLINGS RIGHT THERE. THAT IS A PUBLIC ERROR.))

ANYWAY Lyrik his chain of custody concern is actually fair even if his orthographic hot take was a disaster :P but Grace still owes a hex dump from April and the Berlin barrier photo is still more evidence than her chapter 14 so I guess we're all embarrassed today :rofl:
