Stupid people abound.

Sometimes I despair of ever again being able to just be in the world. People are so incredibly, noxiously, belligerently ignorant and proud of it that I find myself wanting to brick total strangers in the face just because the likelihood that they are really, really, insufferably stupid is immense and the last thing we need is another idiot. Especially one of voting age.

Right now, though, I’d like to make a small PSA:

There is no such word as “real-a-tor,” people. There is only ONE A in that word. There are two syllables: real-tor. That’s why it’s spelled “realtor” and not “realator.”

It drives me crazy that people say it like that in the first place, but goddamn it, when youre actually SPEAKING to a realtor and he’s PRONOUNCING IT realtor and you insistently and continuously pronounce it “real-a-tor,” then you are being hopelessly, persistently stupid, and have shown your abundant lack of ability to learn things that are prominently displayed right in front of your face and therefore you should be disposed of in a horrifyingly embarassing and public death, a la Darwin.

How can you miss this when the guy is saying the same word to you over and over again? How do you keep getting this wrong? Do you want to be stupid? Is it some kind of badge of honour that you remain stupid in the face of all enlightenment? Are you proud of being a complete and utter imbecile, unable to learn even the smallest thing? It’s just like all those fuckwits on WoW that somehow cannot spell “rogue” even when they play one for 60 fucking levels, and then get mad at you when you correct them.

Click the link. There’s a free .wav file showing you how to pronounce it. Realtor. Realtor. Realtor. You fucking MORON.

Merry Christmas.
