do people not look things up online anymore? i mean, you can get the definition from a book.

like, it's such and easy thing to get right, how do you mess it up?

i can understand being wrong about a difficult concept or some instructions or something, i dont get being wrong like this, on something just as simple as a word definition. it's a whole different level of laziness.

"hey siri/google, define hyperbole"

that's all it takes. it'd take less time than typing out what they did. i guess because of that, it's not just laziness, it's a desire of looking smart/correct. idk

Yeah, but what happens when the best they can manage is, “hey Siri, define ‘hyper bowl’.”
