Also she spells loser as "looser." This happens when I say something about feeling like a loser. My head feels like it's going to explode when she responds that I am not a "looser." So then I respond to that, again spelling loser correctly hoping she will notice. But she doesn't and responds again with "looser." I know I'm being pedantic but it does take a lot for me to restrain myself on these sorts of occasions.
This rings a bell! Is English not her first language? I misgender pets and animals because in my other two languages everything has specific gender (grammatically, not biologically). I also occasionally misspell “looser” v “loser”. Hahah
Thanks for this!
