How Ponify ruined my life
Possibly the most horrifying thing that has ever happened to me occurred today. So Iâm in a creative writing class at university right now and we had to print out twenty-five copies of our first, one page assignment to distribute to the class. I had to print mine at the computer lab as I donât have a printer, but here are the three crucial facts that made this the worst mistake of my life.
1. Sometimes, when you log into Google on Chrome, it activates all of your extensions, even ones youâve deactivated.
2. In high school, my friends and I got really into Ponify (a words replacing chrome extension) and switched the preferences so we could read political articles and have congress get into a ârousing snow ball fightâ and the like.
3. Ponify reverted to its original My Little Pony lingo when opened on a new computerâs chrome.
So when I distributed my twenty-five copies of this I noticed the word âeveryponyâ, my heart seized up and dropped into my stomach, and with my imminent death approaching, I began furiously correcting all twenty-five of them. My teacher, confusedly, agreed to let me correct them as I was too infuriated and ashamed to say my mistake aloud.Â
I just realized, however, that the line âas she watched the binding fall away in her handâ was changed to âas she watched the binding fall away in her hoofâ.Â
And I just had to send this email:
And basically Iâm ready for death how was your day
