What's an innocent misconception about your hobby/profession that drives you up the wall?
What's an innocent misconception about your hobby/profession that drives you up the wall?
Like for example, how someone thinks because you work in IT you can fix their TV, or how if you're into music you must be able to play any random instrument.
I just like hearing pros rant about about their very niche problems.

I'm a linguistics enthusiast, which means people expect me to either know a lot of languages (which is, honestly, partly true) or be a grammar nazi (which is emphatically untrue).
I just dislike people typing to when they mean too. And enjoy reading some etymology from time to time.
Does that make me a linguistics enthusiast to?I usually don't care about typos as long as the message gets across, but for some reason the too/to mix up really gets me riled up. I instinctively get cross and have to tell myself to chill tf out
Lol, agreed, some typos are not a problem. But other times, words like to/too, I read as completely different words. And often, that "typo" (I think people honestly are just using the wrong word, not mistyping) will require me to
- Read
- Recognize the error
- re-read knowing that there is an error
Which is aggravating.
