"teh" Stupid. It hurts.

I love twitter conversations. Today, I thought I would share one of my conversations from twitter with you. It started when I came across this comment in #tcot. (Google "hashtags" if you don't know what I'm talking about).

Daily Kos calls @GlennBeck attendees dumb. Yet Ko's blogger can't spell THE http://bit.ly/blRPdy! #tcot #ocra #sgp #teaparty #twisters #beck

Now, anyone who spends any real time in the blogging community knows about "teh." President George W. Bush was not learning how to use "the google" back in '06, at least not in the blogging community. For us, he was learning how to use "teh google." To give you some perspective, the phrase "teh google" turns up over 3,600 times in a google search of Daily Kos alone. So what are the chances that the author actually misspelled "the" as "teh" in the article headline? About as slim as Republicans cutting the deficit if they take control of DC.

Anyways, I let him know:

@CSteven If U spent any time at @dailykos U would understand that the incorrect spelling of "the" (teh) is a common blogger joke. #p2 #tcot

And his response?

@Rusty5329 I'm gonna go with dumb. Thanks anyway.

Well, then. Let's discuss "dumb."

@CSteven Dumb like saying the government should keep its hands off the student loan program? http://bit.ly/c3040b #tcot #teaparty #828 #p2

@CSteven Or is it dumb like saying anyone can find a job sweeping streets for $900/week? http://bit.ly/9Lz4TV #tcot #teaparty #glennbeck #p2

@CSteven Or dumb like thinking Fox news is fair and balanced and all other media are lying criminals? http://bit.ly/9g8I8y #tcot #p2

Het gets back to me with:

@Rusty5329 No Dumb like the Democrats adding $8 Trillion to our debt since January 07. That kind of Dumb.

And I end the conversation:

@CSteven So, dumb like the Bush tax cuts, responsible for 1/3 of our projected deficit? #tcot #p2 #teaparty

Good fun.
