    I once saw a pigeon swallow a giant fish that was being fed to a seal, and after eating it it literally couldn’t fly anymore

      Nature’s equivalent to plopping down on the couch and unbuttoning the top button of your pants.

          It’s not pedantry to point out your word choice was so completely wrong. Illusive is descriptive of things that are illusions (a mirage is illusive water); elusive is descriptive of something that is hard to find

            “Correcting” someone in a casual setting when they clearly communicated their ideas in a way that was understood by the majority of the audience without issue is pedantry, or more specifically linguistic prescriptivism. If their meaning was unclear you’d ask what they meant to say, when you tell someone what they meant to say you obviously understood them and are just being pedantic.

                Okay? If you want to “correct” people who didn’t ask you go ahead, but all you’re really doing is pointlessly derailing conversations. And if you cry about it when people call you out for being a dick that’s more than a little pathetic.

      Elusive*, you’ll probably try to correct me and say that you meant “illusive” but that’s not the right use-case for it anyway.

    I once watched a shag swallow a huge eel. The eel didn’t want to be swallowed. It took about 15 minutes.
