Right-wing commentator and former Brexit campaigner, Darren Grimes, set himself up to be on the receiving end of a stunning Twitter burn when he posted this.
Let’s face it, if the SpAd who helped write it didn’t realise he wasn’t supposed to drive to Barnard Castle with Covid-related eye problems, what hope would anyone else have of understanding the complex message?
A lot of people pulled him up on it, including these:

You’ve probably seen Donald Trump is rather keen on delaying the US presidential elections due to take place in November.
Here’s what he said on Twitter a little while back.
With Universal Mail-In Voting (not Absentee Voting, which is good), 2020 will be the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT Election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA. Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote??? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 30, 2020
And this is surely the perfect response, shared on Reddit by wait_whats_illegal who said: ‘Hold up (found on twitter with #maga tag).’
And just a few of the many comments it prompted.

thepoke--2020-08-06--This man took petty revenge on the workmate stealing his pens and it’s next level stuff

It ’ s irritating when your pens go missing at work , necessitating yet another walk to the stationary cupboard ( or WH Smith , if you ’ re working from home right now ) .

And here are just a few of the things people were saying about it after it went viral on Reddit .
‘ Everyone in my lab is a pen thief @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pilot and crisp black sharpie on your person at all times .
If you mess up and leave it on a bench for any reason , it ’ s gone within 15 seconds .
Poof !

No wonder OC is in aerospace.

– Black sharpie will obscure orange sharpie completely .

The government’s message on working from home has changed from “Do it if you can” to “Only do it if you have no other option”, and the ‘Knit-yourself-a-better-house’ queen of TV, Kirstie Allsopp weighed in with some extra stress to add to the coronavirus and loss of earnings.

And one probably entirely predictable side effect was that Trump supporters started to insist that it IS pronounced Thighland and anyone who thinks otherwise has been saying it wrong all along.
And no-one stood on this burning deck more proudly than this guy.
I’m highly amused to see supposedly sophisticated media types snickering at @realdonaldtrump for saying “Thighland.” These faux-sophisticates don’t realize Trump’s way of saying it is right. “Tai-land” is the crude lingo of people who have never been to “Thighland” — Dinesh D'Souza (@DineshDSouza) August 7, 2020
This is actually the correct pronunciation. Most Americans say it wrong. Thailand is pronounced phonetically. It’s “Thighland,” not “Tai-land.” https://t.co/kiQI7FveEM — Dinesh D'Souza (@DineshDSouza) August 6, 2020
And he really wasn’t letting it lie.
I’m really enjoying the “Thighland” controversy I seem to have kicked off. Outside of America, every English speaking country, starting with the one that invented the language, pronounces it the way Trump did. “Tai-land” is for frontier people who like to simplify pronunciations — Dinesh D'Souza (@DineshDSouza) August 7, 2020
In England, Australia and India it is pronounced “Thighland” and guess who invented the English language? — Dinesh D’Souza (@DineshDSouza) August 7, 2020
Let me clarify. I’m not saying “Thighland” is how it is said in the Thai language. The French say “Paree” but that’s not how it is pronounced in English. “Thighland,” not “Tai-land,” is how English speakers around the world say it — Dinesh D’Souza (@DineshDSouza) August 7, 2020
Leaving aside our provincial argot, no honest person will deny that across the South Asian continent, Thailand is pronounced “Thighland.” So if an entire subcontinent—over a billion people—says it his way, Trump can’t be entirely wrong, can he? — Dinesh D'Souza (@DineshDSouza) August 7, 2020
And here are our favourite things people had to say in response.
1.
Hello, hi, hello. Someone from England here: No it isn’t, you fucking melon. — James Felton (@JimMFelton) August 7, 2020

I’ve never heard any English speaker refer to Thailand as “Thighland.” I even traveled to Thailand 8 years ago, and never heard it pronounced that way. Even Street Fighter II (known for its questionable translations) pronounced it correctly. It’s OK to admit when someone’s wrong. — Justin Boot ∞ (@Polymathically) August 7, 2020

I'm an American who has lived in Britain for a decade and have conducted field research in Thailand six times and have never once heard an English-speaking person other than Donald Trump say "Thighland." https://t.co/ZxEDIOiSKT — Brian Klaas (@brianklaas) August 7, 2020

As an American working in a multicultural office in Sydney, I asked my Australian, Indian, and British colleagues how they pronounce it. Unsurprisingly, Mr D’Sousa is 0-4. — Justin Earl Cleveland (@JEarlCleveland) August 7, 2020

I mean, most of the English speaking world pronounces “Dinesh D’Souza” “Syphilis Brained Grifter” so Thighland checks out. — john r stanton (@dcbigjohn) August 7, 2020

That’s just not remotely true. But useful to the extent it shows how hyper-partisans will argue blatantly untrue things just to defend their team. https://t.co/P0ItTwNGcr — John Avlon (@JohnAvlon) August 7, 2020

To conclude …
Now every Republican will have to say Thighland forever https://t.co/YvkHf2mzrE — rabia O'chaudry (@rabiasquared) August 7, 2020
And this.
"Th" in English is known as the interdental sound. Mostly pronounced with tongue between teeth as it is in "thigh". But there are exceptions. We don't use it for Thames, or Thailand or thpectacular thwitter thelf-own. — Otto English (@Otto_English) August 7, 2020
Oh, and just in case you were wondering.
Ah. The 'Thighland' guy is, perhaps inevitably, one of those Trump-supporting goons who 'thinks' the real Nazis are on the left… — James O'Brien (@mrjamesob) August 7, 2020

Donald Trump’s got a bit of history when it comes to saying words out loud. In the sense that he doesn’t always manage to get the pronunciation entirely quite right.
And this one was a classic of its type. The autocue said ‘Thailand’ and, well, have a watch for yourself.

Bride asks people to write 500 word ‘application essays’ to come to her wedding and the internet spoke as one

It ’ s can be a tricky business drawing up a list of exactly who you should invite to your wedding .
But this , well , this surely isn ’ t the answer .
It ’ s a bride who decided to ask guests – or , more accurately , potential guests – to write 500 word ‘ application essays ’ explaining why they should come before deciding on a final list .
She even asked her sister who did the right thing by telling everyone about it on Reddit ’ s ‘ Am I The Asshole ’ subreddit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And the entire internet spoke as one , thank goodness ( NTA is ‘ not the asshole ’ just in case you ’ re wondering .
‘ NTA .
I would definitely send in two essays .
The first would say “ Mom/Dad said I have to come or I ’ m in BIG trouble ” over and over again until you hit 250 .
The second , “ I ’ m your sibling.
” ’ sc1293 ‘ NTA – Holy hell this is a new one , props to your sister @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be a lunatic .
If they don ’ t care enough to “ reserve ” you a spot , why would you want to celebrate a day with someone so selfish ?
I think they ’ re going to get a hard dose of reality when people don ’ t respond or meet their 500 word essay .
‘ How ’ re you going to be in big trouble with your parents ?
Assuming you ’ re old enough to pay for the trip out of your pocket , there ’ s not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mad .
Save your money and treat yourself to a nice trip to somewhere that doesn ’ t have crazy people.
