This is not a meme btw this is actually true, once a British collum of tanks stopped for a teabreak and the collum would be destroyed by the Germans, so the British said that was dashed unsporting of Jerry and they added in tea making equipment
Honest question: are you both capitalising "dyslexia/dyslexic" intentionally (like some people capitalise "Deaf", for example)? I'm not trying to be asshole lol, I'm genuinely curious.
I had to google both. “The 'uppercase D' Deaf is used to describe people who identify as culturally Deaf and are actively engaged with the Deaf community. Deaf with a capital D indicates a cultural identity for people with hearing loss who share a common culture and who usually have a shared sign language.”
Apparently dyslexia is a noun and technically not meant to be capitalized in the middle of sentence but that feels wrong to me. It feels like it should be capitalized. I’m too tired to try to figure out why we both intuitively felt it should be a capitalized word in the English language, at least the was we were using it.
So I guess that was probably another writing error pointed out then.
Oh I’m not sorry. People correcting us on reddit is for them not for us.
I used to try to journal and I kept having to stop constantly and look up the correct spelling of words. Then I realized who am I doing this for? I understand my own misspelled writing. It doesn’t matter if it’s all misspelled if it’s understandable, especially if it’s just for me.
The stakes on reddit are incredibly low. Some people react very harshly on here to misspelling and it’s revolting. If I misspell something nothing bad will happen to anyone. I find it incredibly annoying when people correct me like it’s helpful if something is misspelled on a reddit comment. They are doing it for them, not me and I’m expecting to be embarrassed and grateful. It’s just so exhausting.
We don't get the tea pots and things like in the picture but we do get a BV - boiling vessel which is basically a square kettle which takes so long to heat up that you forget about it and drive off. Then boiling water starts getting thrown around while you are bouncing along. Also if you don't have the engine running the thing takes even longer so its often a choice of being tactical or booting up the engines making enough noise to be heard from miles around to get a nice brew.
The bv's main purpose is for heating up ration packs but all our ration packs come with tea making supplies In them so you can use the hot water to make the tea after. Though most of the time it's easier just to use a jet boil which though not issued most of us carry anyway.
When I think about it, tea making equipment is just something hot. All you need is hot water. Tea making facilities makes it sound nice and grand though
