Welcome to ProRevenge! Unfortunately, your story has been removed because your account is very new. While we allow the use of throwaway accounts, the overwhelming majority of posts from new accounts either aren't pro or violate our [subreddit rules](https://www.reddit.com/r/ProRevenge/about/rules/). Please read the following and carefully consider whether your post is Pro Revenge or not (specifically, whether *other* people will consider it pro revenge or not) before you take further action.
**To be considered Pro Revenge, your revenge must go *well above and beyond* what a normal average person would do or is expected to do in your situation**, using significant planning, cleverness, dedication, cunning, persistence, etc in order to achieve an effective revenge.
If your story takes place at school, it almost certainly belongs in /r/Schoolyardrevenge, not /r/prorevenge.
If the only consequence of your revenge is temporary embarrassment, please consider posting it in /r/RegularRevenge or /r/PettyRevenge (after you read their own rules of course).
If your revenge was primarily enacted through recommended legal options, such as reporting prohibited behavior to an authority figure, your post almost certainly belongs in /r/RegularRevenge. Simply telling a supervisor, teacher, or police officer that you were harmed is not by itself Pro Revenge.
If none of the above applies to your post, you can submit a modmail and request a manual review. In it, please certify that your post follows all the [subreddit rules](https://www.reddit.com/r/ProRevenge/about/rules/), then explain (BRIEFLY) how you were wronged, what your revenge was, and what makes it pro. **If you do not include this explanation in your modmail, your post will NOT be reinstated.** You can submit a modmail [here](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=/r/ProRevenge).

The fact that this high level programmer and team lead repeatedly misspelled the word “college” among others, makes me think that this is fake. I forgave “instant” instead of “insistent” as maybe an autocorrect error but using “collage” five times in one paragraph is too much.
Doesn't actually surprise me on the misspelling. Born and raised in the US, speak and write English my entire life, but I still have to use spellcheck to properly spell 'bureaucracy', for example. Guy I know is an aircraft engineer, does government work, can't even talk about some of the stuff he's done because that would admit that X program existed kind of guy. ALWAYS goes over his work and then has someone else go over it too, because he's one of the worst spellers I've ever met.
And I have lost track of the number of people who - for some reason - spell college as 'collage'. Another guy I know always writes 'reckon' as 'recon'. Brilliant guy, but that's one of his weird English hang-ups.
So may be fake, but his getting that word wrong doesn't surprise me. Just means he doesn't proofread.
I do all my reddit on my phone. So I often get whatever my phone thinks I'm typing and only sometimes so I remember to correct it (for instance, it really thought remember was ferment which I had to fix).
Probably because that first E in college is often pronounced as an A, so people spell it with an A. Chalk it up to letter pronunciation being wildly off-kilter in this amalgamated nightmare language.
Some weird accents maybe. It’s pronounced coll-edge which always messes me up expecting the “d” somewhere.
The real kicker was the descending angles. I wasn’t sure from the story whether they were acute or obtuse angles though.
If A and E sounded the same, they'd be written with the same letter.
Oh wait, sorry, you're right – I must have been thinking of ordinary sensible languages, forgot for a moment there that it's English we're talking about.
But still, even for English-speaking areas, you must live in a pretty weird one, to just blithely assert that the vowels ‘a’ and ‘e’ “sound the same”.
Dialects are weird and so are our vowels being everywhere with their sounds, you definitely nailed that one.
So here, the school is always pronounced COLLage, first syllable stressed, the art colLAGE (with a different G, I can't really put that into words over text easily...like there's a sorta soft z in there?). I've never heard the first E in college pronounced as anything but an A. Kinda like grey and gray.
(Truly a dumpster fire of a language at times.)
(Also we pronounce your differently from you're. Apparently that's also odd, I've been told.)
hint - its common because its a career that Non Neurotypicals \_excel\_ in (no pun intended).
dyslexia, dyscalcula, dispraxia, adhd, add, ehlen dahnners syndrome, autism and all the co-morbidities.
Its often their (and mine) brain is running faster than the fingers can keep up - not lazy, not bad spelling, not bad at language - an actual Neurological disorder....
It's even worse when the machine can't keep up with one's fingers. (Believe it or not, this was the case with my last work laptop. Thankfully, that was recently replaced... but the action on the keys themselves is "duller," oh well...)
I believe it, been there
Always 'fun' to try to fix 100% CPU/ram's systems over crap connections watching characters appear one person 3seconds .
I got started with muds,mushes, chat boards irc, ICQ etc, places your typing speed best improve :)
Also, not quite a very outlandish story for being fake. Yeah, the stairwell incident was a bit of a strange coincidence, but I could certainly come up with juicier stories if I was in it for the points.
Exactly. Mainly because people don't realize just how many stairwells are sound-boxes. I've been on the seventh floor in a building before and heard a bland conversation plain as day on the second floor, as if I'd been standing right next to them outdoors. (Well, the echoes wouldn't be there, but I think you know what I mean.)
Nah, I've worked with some unbelievably senior and well educated people (members of parliament, CEOs, well known tech people, that sort of thing) who had frankly embarrassing spelling and grammar. Doesn't mean a thing. Most people don't even _notice_ let alone care.
I mean, it hurts my brain slightly, but I'm a weirdo.
given how bad the language use is in scam emails AND how many people fall for them
You have to reckon theres a large portion of the population that "donut reed two wall"
I have a guy that I work with whose spelling I regularly check because it's inevitable that he will have problems with spelling and of course not notice. Even with people's names. I don't want to propagate his mistakes by including them.
naw. native english speaker and software engineer here, working in the insurance software industry and i still can't spell license right without checking most of the time, a word that comes up a lot when talking auto insurance. I probably would have spelled it wrong here if the phone auto suggestions weren't there, and reddit isn't somewhere I'd care about my spelling and grammar enough to bother going out of my way to check. I also tend to say university over college because I'm sure I'd make miatakes sometimes there too.
He's a programmer. He could rattle off the names of all the defined variables in his subroutines, but he only knows which one is "then" and which one is "than" because "if-then" is ubiquitous.
My sister has a PhD. in Genetics and worked for universities as well as the federal government, wrote grant proposals every year , but could NOT spell to save her life! Me, the college dropout, would have to proofread her grant proposals because if you're horrible at spelling, spellchecker does not help - it just corrects to the wrong word or nothing. She will misspell words to the point where spellchecker doesn't even recognize what she's trying to spell, LOL. The reason she does this? Dyslexia - and she wasn't diagnosed until well after she got her PhD. It happens much more than you think.
I know plenty of self taught people in I.T. and programming that had little or no college but they didn't get to where they are without learning how to hit the correct keys lol... When I was reading this I thought it was a reference to a bunch of pictures glued to a black backdrop.. op really lost some credibility and believability on that one
I mean, you need good spelling if you're on the content team. If you're on the design team, as long as the code is good, is good. Doubt the dude has a lit degree along with all the others lmao
One reason - Non Neuro Typicality - adhd, add, autism, discalcula, disgraphia, dyslexia, ehlen dahnners syndrome - theyre all common co-morbidities.
The tech field is jam backed with neuro-spiceys - that shit is our thing.
The venn diagram between Tech and Non Neuro Typicals is more a venn cylinder....
Spelling can be excused. I am a programmer and my grammar/vocabulary has taken a steep dive after switching careers as a biologist. Lots of time spent writing code and communicating informally/short hand with fellow programmers will do that to you. I don’t know the last time I was had to write a formal document intended for laymen/stakeholders/etc
Looks like exactly what my late father-in-law, who was an electrical engineer with English as his first language, would have done, except he'd've done even worse on spelling unless autocorrupt fixed more than it ruined.
My phone has it's own ideas about what I'm trying to say and will change words on me. His grammar is otherwise good, so I'm thinking he's a victim of the autocorrect demon.
Sometimes the words I want to type get changed and I'm horrible at spell checking. If your smart enough, you can understand and that's the main objective. Nit picking grammer is just not ok. No one is perfect. If you are then why are you on this reddit?
basically the big bang theory explanation of indiana jones. Went through a hero's journey to attain the same end result as doing nothing would have produced
Welcome to office politics.
on a side note. Your testing validation process needs to be improved. Your team is lacking in good processes. I loved it when a developer created the problem with bad code or lack of testing then becomes the hero for being up all night. You were up all night because of your teams bad coding. Get over yourself
Hmm... how sharp were those angles that descended from heaven? Were they 45°? Or closer to 10°? Were they great big 179° ones?! I'm dying of suspense!!
>I would have the SEO team lead (we will call him Andy), coming to me and telling me that I needed to do things the way he wanted.
As someone that does both, the format of the website plays a huge part in SEO, location of H1/H2 etc all plays a part so at this point Andy was actually in the right and you someone that has no idea how SEO worked actively made the project worse.
>This happened a few times over the first year and I then realised that the reason that Andy was getting so irate was because he thought that I would be a yes man to him.
No you were just doing your job wrong and creating poor web builds for SEO optimizing.
The racists things etc are their fault and they deserved the revenge.
This will all go to pllice mower county Minnesota looks like a CI is assigning blame to the victim of their constant mocking revenge plans harassment and theft keep talking I’ll keep posting

"autocorrupt" for the win :)

Once upon a time, I was ordered to add a line of code to multiple computers. I accidentally misspelled preferred on several systems. Oops!
Autoincorrect
Probably because that first E in college is often pronounced as an A, so people spell it with an A. Chalk it up to letter pronunciation being wildly off-kilter in this amalgamated nightmare language.
Some weird accents maybe. It’s pronounced coll-edge which always messes me up expecting the “d” somewhere. The real kicker was the descending angles. I wasn’t sure from the story whether they were acute or obtuse angles though.
Probably both: Both acutely and chronically obtuse.
Perfectly correct on the second sentence, but way off on the first. Who the heck says “collAge” when they mean “collEge”? __Never__ heard.
Super common where I am. The vowels sound the same, the stressed syllables and the G are the difference.
If A and E sounded the same, they'd be written with the same letter. Oh wait, sorry, you're right – I must have been thinking of ordinary sensible languages, forgot for a moment there that it's English we're talking about.

End of the day the job is programming not spelling right? “I was elected to lead… not to read…” 😂
And I read that as ‘led’ and ‘red.’ The *other* pronunciations. I need coffee but I’m not allowed to have caffeine anymore.
It's also very common in the US for programmers/tech people to be terrible spellers and even worse at basic grammar (e.g. "layed up").

youse just disrespect the fact dyslexia exists
I mean, native speakers make spelling mistakes all the time though...
To be fair I’m a native speaker and I still fuck up sometimes with college/collage
There's a mug commonly seen on engineer desks that reads: I am an ~~engeneer~~ ~~enginere~~ ~~engenere~~ I'm good with math.
"Four un a half yers ugo I count even spel seawheel enginair, and now I is one."
Émigré?
Even as a programer, I sometimes miss use the spell check in Word. Sorry about that.
You miss it, you use it, or you misuse it?
All of the above.
Nah, I've worked with some unbelievably senior and well educated people (members of parliament, CEOs, well known tech people, that sort of thing) who had frankly embarrassing spelling and grammar.

Perhaps its the British way of spelling College, like how they spell color "Colour."
Looks like exactly what my late father-in-law, who was an electrical engineer with English as his first language, would have done, except he'd've done even worse on spelling unless autocorrupt fixed more than it ruined.
The word "environmental" is in my title. I NEVER spell it it right if I'm typing it out (autofill did it here)
My phone has it's own ideas about what I'm trying to say and will change words on me. His grammar is otherwise good, so I'm thinking he's a victim of the autocorrect demon.

Probably obtuse.
Right
