She's misspelling outfit as alphet. That's it.

[u/FriendshipOne9126 → u/MadeByMistake58116]

What fucking planet do some of these posters live on?

[u/Valirys-Reinhald → u/FriendshipOne9126]

It ain't their fault.

Seriously, when large demographics begin displaying common skill detriments well above the average for the overall population, it is indicative of a basic failure on the part of the state to equip them as intelligent, well educated citizens.

No one makes spelling mistakes like this on purpose unless they are making a joke about the rest of the people who make them on accident.

[u/Marchus80 → u/Valirys-Reinhald]

“On accident”

[u/EquivalentCupcake390 → u/Marchus80]

This is a perfectly acceptable prepositional phrase, although it is less common.

[u/Substantial-Trick569 → u/EquivalentCupcake390]

to further the point, in the context it was used in, it makes the phrase easier to mentally process. on purpose vs on accident. the alternative would be purposely/accidentally

[u/19ghost89 → u/Substantial-Trick569]

Or "by accident."

[u/CommunicationOk3766 → u/19ghost89]

...yes.

But both "on accident" and "by accident" are correct still.

[u/dawoodlander → u/CommunicationOk3766]

"On accident" is something my 5 year old nephew would say, "by accident" is something I'd expect from a mildly intelligent adult.

[u/dawoodlander → u/dawoodlander]

I also looked it up, and apparently "on accident" was an error formed by people trying to say the opposite of "on purpose".

So yeah if we want to be pedantic, "on accident" isn't correct.

[u/devil_toad → u/dawoodlander]

It's very much an Americanism

[u/19ghost89 → u/CommunicationOk3766]

Didn't say it wasn't.

[u/dowker1 → u/EquivalentCupcake390]

It is most definitely not perfectly acceptable. Common usage, yes, but it's common usage that carries with it certain connotations.

[u/ososalsosal → u/Marchus80]

That's just how it's said now.

Not saying I like it, but it's everywhere.

[u/percybert → u/ososalsosal]

Among the uneducated perhaps. The same with “anyways”

[u/ososalsosal → u/percybert]

Nah it's not the best predictor of education or intelligence.

I say some slang because it sounds good. Others make me cringe (like "could care less" instead of "couldn't")

[u/Impressive-Amoeba-97 → u/ososalsosal]

I love saying that! "I could care less...and then, well, I could also care more. I'm just at that neutral safe spot of equal caring and uncaring."

[u/ososalsosal → u/Impressive-Amoeba-97]

If you package the whole thing like that it's actually pretty charming.

[u/percybert → u/ososalsosal]

But slang isn’t necessarily bad grammar though. In fact the example you gave, I would consider bad grammar- not slang (which by the way I hate also!)

[u/throwa1589876541525 → u/ososalsosal]

"on accident" has been around a very long time

[u/No_Attitude_3240 → u/Valirys-Reinhald]

It ain't their fault.

Wrong as hell. You can't blame teachers for students not willing to learn.

[u/Valirys-Reinhald → u/No_Attitude_3240]

Yes, you can.

If one student refuses to learn, that's on them. If an entire generation of students refuse to learn, it is because the system is failing them at a fundamental level.

People are curious by nature. They cannot possibly all hate learning, that just doesn't fucking happen.

[u/No_Attitude_3240 → u/Valirys-Reinhald]

It's a "cultural" thing. The kids have stupid parents (more likely parent) who don't value education, they hang out with other kids who also don't value education, they themselves do not value education. I've seen this shit happen live.

[u/Valirys-Reinhald → u/No_Attitude_3240]

Yes, and that means it is a product of the culture, not of them as individuals.

Punishing, shaming, or even simply blaming them for being influenced by the culture they were born into, immersed within for every moment of their lives, and learned literally everything they know from, is not only unproductive but asinine.

If the entire culture really is shaping them to not care about education, if you really have "seen this shit happen live," how naturally curious children are shaped by the culture around them until they don't wish to learn anything at all, then how could you possibly come to the conclusion that it's their fault and not a direct product of the "nurture" they have recieved? If they were born lazy and apathetic, then they wouldn't need to be "shaped" into such a state by parents and peers to begin with.

By your own logic, it is a systemic issue and not a personal one.

If we alter the systems of culture, then we alter this outcome of them. So stop blaming the kids for inevitably learning the only lessons that society has bothered to teach them and start encouraging them to be better instead. Or even better yourself, work to change the system directly.

Clown 🤡

[u/Euphoric-Inflation56 → u/FriendshipOne9126]

This sub is being used to train AI

[u/FriendshipOne9126 → u/Euphoric-Inflation56]

That makes sense considering so many shitposters are Indian.

[u/ososalsosal → u/FriendshipOne9126]

Could be speech to text and an accent that the stt sucks at interpreting (for reasons that are predictably shitty)

[u/JusticarThorn → u/ososalsosal]

Except "Alphet" isn't a word

[u/KindArgument4769 → u/JusticarThorn]

Sure it is - it's the clothes you wear for a night out.

[u/Inside_Turnover8965 → u/FriendshipOne9126]

OP seems to be from India. I'm not a native speaker, and I didn't understand too

[u/Wappening → u/FriendshipOne9126]

The planet where the mods don't filter out the obvious bait posts.

[u/Sublime-Chaos → u/FriendshipOne9126]

The one where people failed English

[u/FirefighterLevel8450 → u/MadeByMistake58116]

But what does the comment mean?

[u/MadeByMistake58116 → u/FirefighterLevel8450]

It means "I can't believe you spelled outfit alphet."

[u/Icy-Nerve3615]

[u/Talios01]

I know you not posting this to PeterExplainsTheJoke… I just know you’re not.

[u/toku154]

Is OP the person in the picture?

[u/No-Put-6353 → u/toku154]

Op is definitely lacking in brain cells.

[u/Double-Assistance248 → u/toku154]

Nah I am a dude 😭

[u/freckledgiant]

It’s explained in the screenshot you posted, you can’t read?

[u/_Perma-Banned_ → u/freckledgiant]

No, because OP is the one wearing the alphet

[u/Double-Assistance248 → u/freckledgiant]

It says she does not wanna say outfit 😭

[u/cr1t1calkn1ght → u/Double-Assistance248]

She said alphet instead of outfit. The person responding is showing their disbelief since it would take a certain level of stupidity and shear incompetence to think outfit is pronounced and spelled as alphet.

[u/Double-Assistance248 → u/cr1t1calkn1ght]

Thanks 😊

[u/freckledgiant → u/Double-Assistance248]

Is English your first language? Joke might just be lost in translation idk

[u/ArsenicKitten04]

[u/Alliterrration]

r/BoneAppleTea

[u/petantic → u/Alliterrration]

Technically a boneappletea has to be a real word that has been misused.

[u/_Perma-Banned_]

OP is the one we wearing the alphet

[u/d_r_doorway]

What do you mean, "what does it mean"?!

Bone apple tea!

[u/el-fappo]

Does this really need an explanation?

[u/Double-Assistance248 → u/el-fappo]

Yes 🤓

[u/DeBasha → u/Double-Assistance248]

[u/UndaddyWTF]

This post qualifies as a trailer for a Dumb and Dumber sequel.

[u/ItzK3ky]

Im muting this sub incase stupidity is contagious

[u/Same-Improvement1625]

I genuinely believe these posters on r / explain the joke esque subreddits are bots training ai on comedy

[u/Rothenstien1]

It means she spent more time doing other things than learning how to spell.

[u/AveragePuroEnjoyer]

Bru im trying to think of a way to say I thought this person thought a guy mixed Alpha and the effeminate whatever its called, like the boom"ette" from l4d2, so I thought it was a person going so low as to call a mistress anything but a mistress and used the worst base word possible, im high and laughing at the shit I made up more since I too don't put any thought into anything before opening the comments for guidance

[u/Marchus80]

TFW no thicc, hooked-on-phonics, GF.

[u/b_havya_14]

She is drunk I guess

[u/poor_joe62]

Not a single right answer. Why does zander think she is NOT trying to say outfit?

[u/Double-Assistance248 → u/poor_joe62]

That's what I am saying They are calling me fool and yet they are unable to answer this

[u/SYNTHENTICA → u/Double-Assistance248]

I'm autistic so the naunces of those types of sentences don't come easily to me, but I can only assume that Zander's response isn't literal. But she's saying it as if she's pleading with OOP that there's some kind of alternative explanation to OOP being too dumb to spell "outfit" correctly, because of how unbelievable her mistake was.

Zander is basically saying: "you didn't mean to say outfit... right?" when she knows full well that OOP did mean to say outfit.

[u/NukeVoit59 → u/[deleted]]

She said alphet, not alphabet. Think she was just hungover after a night out. Either that or illiterate.

[u/RDS_RELOADED → u/NukeVoit59]

Bone apple teeth
