  …y’know this explanation makes a lot of sense.

    I said it because I’ve known quite a few.

      Its like people who only read or type words, but never actually have audible conversations with those words… they have no idea how to pronounce them.

      my friend pronounced Meme Me-Me the other day and I about died laughing

        Most people in general still cannot seem to figure out the difference between calvary and cavalry.

        Both are pronounced as they are spelled.

        Calvary is the hill Christ was crucified on.

        Cavalry refers usually to soldiers mounted on horseback, though since the invention of helicopters, it also means infantry transported via helicopters.

        This one doesn’t seem to be caused by lack of verbal usage, it seems to just be a quite common pair of words to conflate, a very minor but widespread dyslexia/dysphasia, like nuclear and nuke-you-lur.

  My work is getting a new ERP and I just got out of a long meeting about it. I’m a little disoriented.

    Heh, different kind of ERP.

    Nonetheless, you have my sympathies.

    I’ve worked at a number of different places that changed ERP or CRM software, and it basically always involves a 3 month period of all kinds of insane errors happening due to people being unable to figure out a new UI.

    Then also all the edge cases with bespoke workaronds from the old system just collapse completely, even if the managers were told ‘hey this will break, we’re gonna need to make a new workaround, please give us time to test it’ and then the managers don’t… or, even more fun, the only guy or gal that even knew those edge cases existed, and made all the workarounds, they just quit, and then no one has any idea why a whole bunch of shit is broken.

      We’re going from QuickBooks+3 other programs to an ERP, so I’m hoping the new headaches are approximately equal to the existing ones.

    Hope it isn’t GlobalShop. If so, good luck.
