    my bad, was just scrolling through amazon's daily deals & wanted to see if the forum would apply my tag thingy to it lmao

    here have a shiatsu back neck & shoulder massager on sale to relax you instead: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074S9BJ6B/?tag=thtv02-20

    also its weird that amazon puts gift cards on sale.. shit makes no sense right?
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XDLJ43Z/?tag=thtv02-20

    I emailed..they did have incorrect goldens..and also..they should put examples...It seems maybe between racy and pornographic..but also what THEY consider racy is getting lost in translation...Do they consider a leg..a woman with a wedding dress, modeling?? That's what I have run in too..Things that even conservative me would never find racy..they find racy..but then sometimes they don't etc...

    Yes clarifying and having examples to get good work from workers who care- is what I emailed them about...

    I mean, logically, it costs nothing to make a gift card, and yet you get people to spend money they probably wouldn't have spent in the store in the first place without one. Basic marketing tricks, probably.

    Noah Webster was a dingus who dropped an L in like 1890 or some shit? It didn't fully catch on for another 100 years and it irks me. Mind you, I use cancelled 99% of the time, primarily because cancellation is still always spelled with two Ls and editors love some consistency. Well, I do anyway.

    I'm serious they are easy. If you think that they are hard she doesn't want you as a worker.

    Do not get me started. I was very good at spelling before I moved here. Travelled is another one. And as for that irrational hatred of the letter "u" (colour, humour, etc.)...

    On another note, how hard is it to understand the word "tomato" when it's pronounced "to-mah-to" instead of "to-may-to"? Especially in the context of ordering pizza. I mean, there are only so many possibilities in this universe as to what I might be requesting as a topping when I'm calling a pizzeria, you know?

    Like what about an exercise routine ad? Is that racy because it's minimally dressed? I would assume YES as it says minimally dressed...Ugh :((( Also some seem pornographic to me even with clothes on..clearly...Yet should that be marked racy or porno..I mark them racy as it says and I was dinged :/
