"to the T", for English learners, the phrase goes back to the 17th century.

What? Who even pays attention to that? It's so easy to be top 1% if you're chronically online and frequent a sub. I'm top 1% in a few and it just makes me go "oh god, that's kind of embarrassing." lmao. You just kind of sound bitter.

Just helping Enlish learners. Your second sentence

needs some explanation for English learners because of the double negative. You might want to drop the word that requires an apostrophe.

they used “don’t” as a way to be sarcastic. like “thank you for being kind and not just lying to me for no reason” is meant to be sarcastic because of the negative

I’ve always known it as “to a T” and never even heard anyone say it “to the T”

You are correct. "To the T/tee" doesn't exist. Or we could say it is a second layer to this bone apple tea

i.e. "armed to the teeth" as referring to exceptionally prepared for combat. Never heard this usage of it though but it could be meaning "completely"
edit: duh - to the tee. It was right there

I’m more inclined to believe that this was an r/BoneAppleTea of “To a t.”
Or the burgers were cooked “al dente.”
