To see OP make a funny, here we go!

First (above)

Can we please stop with this pedantic nonsense? This is just such exhausting ass behavior. Especially when you're still wrong. Not everyone calls things the way that you do in your local area. That's a news article from the UK where a plug socket is called a plug.

Second deleted comment

To be a joke it has to be funny or have some comedic or humorous value. You didn't have a punchline. You didn't make any comedic observations. It was just pedantry and I've never seen anyone walk up and go "Um actually, this" and then get a laugh without being on the show Um Actually.

I'm just here to plug for Um, Actually. If anyone wants to see pedantry be funny it's a great show. It's mostly behind a pay wall at Dropout.tv (formerly collegehumor) but if you like DnD actual play, whose line is it anyway, or game shows it's well worth the $5 a month to support a streaming service that isn't evil and makes great content.

A good amount of it is on YouTube as well if you want to see what it’s about.
