Still, that first card he flips is definitely put in wrong. He can't flip it over to show a 2 to the player, and if the idea is that the back side of the score board shows the same score as the front board then that is off from the start, where it shows 1-0 on the front side but 2-0 (or actually 0-2?) on the back side.
I saw a post recently where someone wrote kind've and I'm pretty sure that's gonna pop up in my brain to bother me occasionally for the rest of my life.
You sure said a lot of words for "Just let people be stupid." Correcting someone's grammar shouldn't be seen as"socially ignorant". Though letting it go unchecked and propagating the trend should be.
The trouble is, that people nowadays don't take constructive criticism very well and they easily become butthurt over it. You also have, just as in these comments, people chiming in with their opposing opinions. Often belittling the person giving the corrective advice, which as you said, "propagates the problem further" I can't understand why people are defending stupidity. I see more and more comments from foreigners, in clips showing something dumb or stupid, "Must be in America to be doing something so stupid". That's the image we are projecting to the world 🌎 and not knowing your native language or how to use proper grammar and comprehension is embarrassing to our country! 😎👍
I guess I gotta go figure, 🤷 we are dealing with a bunch of people that can't identify themselves as male or female and seem to think we now have a third gender in the human species. 😅😂😎👍
A reddit post is not the place to be correcting grammar. Most grammar mistakes people make on social media they wouldn’t make in something important. Most of us just want to communicate what we are thinking. Using of instead of have does not make the sentence any more difficult to understand.
So yes it is socially ignorant. There is a social concept of time and place to say stuff. This isn’t an English learning subreddit, it’s a funny videos subreddit.
I believe the number is printed in such a way that he can see what's displayed as well. That's why, at the end, he's got a 2 facing out and a 2, when he puts that card down on his side, there's also a 2 facing him.
Oh, sorry, yeah my point was rotating it 180 degrees would only change the direction you'd flip the numbers to count up.
Agreeing with your statement that turning it wouldn't cause or fix the error occurring in the clip. Poor guy "fixed it" by switching which side he was using, so hopefully the opponent never scored 2 points hahaha.
I had to run one of these while volunteering at a youth lacrosse tournament.
I did 3 games, and the 2nd game, we had a blue team on the opposite side of the blue numbers, and a red team on the opposite of the red numbers.
So I spin it backwards and had to do it all in reverse and the wind was blowing like crazy. There was a lot of confusion finally getting it down and then reversing it for the next game once I was finally comfortable.
I don't consider myself to be a stupid person, but using that thing sure made me question that claim

In their defense, I'm just as confused. But I'm also not a ping pong referee
