When was the last time you were wrong?

When was the last time you were wrong? And how did you feel about it after you had discovered you were wrong

@SeekingPlumb

I think it depends...

But as another example, I have tinnitus in both ears, and I've had it since I can't even remember. But for the longest time I was calling it tenonitis, and it wasn't until someone stopped me and said that I was putting an extra syllable in there that didn't exist, and I was in complete shock. I was very grateful that they told me, and I now learned this

They yell things, trying to get you to react violently. And so once I heard Nathan Phillips present those individuals in that light, I knew he was an incredibly disingenuous human being that did not deserve the sympathy that he was receiving across the country. And now, initially, I was one of those people. I was like, God, this poor old guy, his kids acting like a jerk to him

Strike. My last comment. It was today that I realized I was wrong because I was pronouncing tinnitus wrong as well. So there's that see, just like that I realized is wrong

But what it was is that he's a bald black dude, and he kind of came up at the time when the members of the rap group Onyx was starting to get into acting, so my young mind connected the dots in this way. Well, he must be in the rap group. I don't know why I thought that at the time, but, yeah, very silly. And I'll give an example. I'll just be transparent. Pokerman had recommended this app to me

Hello, average Joe. Thank you for taking the time to respond to my very first swell, which at first I didn't think was going so well. And hopefully this is me mentioning you. You I realized there was no real way for me to do a reply and say who I wanted to add in the reply. But anyhow what a great example of you feeling about the scenario wrong, and not necessarily

We tend to be wrong a lot, but we catch ourselves and change course as soon as we learn our lessons. Right? Just like if you change your mind about this app. One more thing. You're talking about Black History lights. Anything about Black History lights. But then you mentioned Power Rangers, and I just felt like saying it's Morphin time

Finding comfort in being wrong. @AbeMartinez

Mr. Abe Martinez, thank you so much for participating in this particular swell. And yes, I am rather swell just because the app is called swell, so I figured I'm rather swell. So let's do it. And I didn't want to have any old baggage of a screen name, so I thought this was just you anyway, Beck loser

Sorry about the bird!

I watched him teach this point to the class, and it was so embarrassing and yet so humbling, because what else was I going to do, pretend that I knew something that I really only had a very small grasp on? No. So yeah, that was just crushing. It was crushing to have to sit down and just admit complete defeat. But I wasn't going to lie about it. And moving forward, I realized that teachers don't know everything

Levels of wrong to help us get right. @GeorgieDee

Sometimes they're just going through the motions of just giving out these tests and how to take the test, because these tests determine, if not only the student is a certain level of intelligence, but also if the school is worthy of that funding, especially when you get to the inner city schools. And whatnot? So that's a whole other nugget to crack

My small steps to revolution

But it's tough, and it's tough. I would love to see a massive change in the way that education is designed. I would love to see that I should do something about it, but I guess I'm doing it. Small steps in small ways. I'm not going to join the government. Become a f****** politician. Thank you

@SeekingPlumb subredditors say either is fine.

Everybody else is wrong. For what it's worth, I've always pronounced it tonight because we must come from the same Alexa family group. Not sure how that would work and I refused to change. I don't need to. After all, I think most people don't listen to me anyway
@SeekingPlumb

Tinnitus! πŸ˜† @topgold

No. Hey, I think when I started saying it, I said it tinnitus like you said it, but then it morphed into this tiny dish I needed. I really have to think consciously every time I'm going to say it to make sure I don't add that extra syllable interesting. Well, then maybe I'll just say it the way I originally started. Thank you for that

@RatherSwell driving aggressively

And I'd say once a month I come close to getting either T boned or smacking into somebody, and it's all because of speed having to go somewhere fast. So I'm going to have to readjust my driving to fit the car and then also maybe dial down some of the aggressiveness that I have to take a Lane. Jesus been really lucky the last three months. The pandemic in Ireland kept travel at a reduced rate

Never lose that curiosity for knowledge @MerelyHuman

So when they would be confronted about this information possibly being faulty, I would tend to find that folks to be very, extremely combative and defensive to even suggest that they are wrong about something so merely human. What you have said is it refresh. I mean, I refresh, but it's refreshing and it speaks to why you are such a knowledgeable force out here in soil. You take two intelligence, gaining intelligence and experiences and knowledge with a childlike curiosity

@KnowWuan @MerelyHuman A marriage proposal

Hey, Juan, how are you doing? I'm jumping on this swell laughing because it's vintage. When you call it vintage, that was so cute and merely human has breathed new life into it. I have also been away from Swell for about a month, so it's nice to hear your voice again. Dewuan, I've just researched one of my favorite people to quote and it is Albert Einstein. I don't memorize quotes
