      Knees on horses aren’t backwards. They’re just in different spots. What looks like the knee is really more like the heal, and they walk on they’re “toes.”

          Yes. I made an error. And yet, you understood what I meant. Weird.

            I mean, it’s like grade 3 level English. People can tell what you meant but that’s because it’s so common that so many people make such simple mistakes. Educate yourself ffs.

              Man… You’ve never made small meaningless mistakes? If this bothers you that much, I’m envious that you don’t have bigger problems in your life.

              It doesn’t matter how common the written error is, because the ambiguity is omnipresent in speech and we sort it out every day of our lives, so it will always be easy as fuck.

              FYI, both of you are overacting. It’s weird to react to the correction so seriously, but equally weird for you to get so offended by the error. Both of you be better.
