Not sure how that has anything to do with america
 help



Perhaps due to the prior Texas mention and an assumption the user lives there.

If they were using swipe typing on a mobile device, nuance and nuisance have very nearly the same pattern.

it feels a bit hateful to chalk it up to the dialect of english, as if the commenter is simply stupid


It was autocorrect, my bad.

Your comment incorrectly attributed an autocorrect error to the person's dialect.

That error was entirely your own, and a conscious one, unlike what you were commenting on.


The poster can be presumed American.. but what does that have to do with the mistake made?

I live in the Bay Area and have an advanced degree and good career. It was a simple autocorrect error. Chill out, grammar police!!
