I was raised by an English major so maybe that’s the difference. I’ve always been a night and light guy. Perhaps people are bastardizing our already bastardized language. I think spellcheck has ruined people. Refusing to proofread anything has also hurt us. It’s fine when you’re chatting with buddies, but in important communication it’s vital in my opinion. Even my spellcheck goes off with nite. People must be trying to sound silly. It’s nighttime kids, not nittime. Nittime makes you sound like you have crabs.
Nope you guys spell light lite and night nite
No we don’t. Advertisers and marketers invented that nonsense. Presumably it made their product appear “clever” or “cute” or some such rubbish.
@Xander Easy on that Marketing & Advertising stuff 
@Dogwalla I’m holding back :-"
All jokes aside, the “liter” (lighter) pinch is really working for me. I have to say, I am enjoying Santo Domingo a lot more today pinching very lightly. I am still not used to the courser particles going up my nose, but it is working nicely.
Now that turned out to be something, an english lesson pretending to be how to sniff moist snuff. (I am not going to touch that one) @fbones24 I do moist snuff by tapping out a small amount between my thumb & first finger. Secondly you do not want to snort this so press your tongue against the roof of your mouth while forcing your throat closed you will be able to sniff it up quickly without hitting your throat
spoon fill your box car, I like the swirling snuff as it tickles my nose hairs on the way up. Another plus for moist snuff
@basement_shaman You are the man ^:)^ That is priceless
Eh, while classic grammar and spelling should be respected, language evolves. I say as long as you understand language etc how you express yourself has an effect on language and society- as long as it’s not just a result of ignorance or blindly following the crowd. I was compelled to say that for some reason… Back to the topic, I usually use the basic (perhaps less than pretty) shoveling technique, which yes, might not be the best way.
I agree and must say that since forums and texting, most have adapted to understanding what is written. Here’s a sample from the web: if yuo can raed tihs, you hvae a sgtrane mnid, too. Can you raed tihs? Olny 55 plepoe out of 100 can. i cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it dseno’t mtaetr in waht oerdr the ltteres in a wrod are, the olny iproamtnt tihng is taht the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it whotuit a pboerlm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Azanmig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt! if you can raed tihs forwrad it.
try slightly rubbing your middle finger and thumb together as you are sniffing your pinch, though often I’ll just take a big pinch on the back of my hand either way. you don’t have to pinch hard. Try liter pinches
Yes lighter is the correct spelling: Don’t know how I made that mistake, but I think we all would be impressed by a “liter” pinch, that would after all be a very big pinch, which is what I recommend.
