We need to pay a lot more attention to the fact that there are folks out there attempting to argue that the Earth is flat, all based on a video game, rather than focusing on the actual size of the globe within that same game. It’s really unexpected, isn’t it? Who would have thought such a debate could be stirred up by the dino game?

These grammar enthusiasts just couldn’t see that the misspelled word was an integral part of the meme itself. It’s a shame they put correct spelling above a good laugh.

A dad joke’s worth is measured by the laughter it draws from its audience. It’s really all about making sure the person hearing the joke gets it.
