What a weird take on why you should spell a company name correctly.

Correct, nobody is going to put you in jail for misspelling Digital Ocean. You can do as you please. But everyone else is going to think you don't know what you're talking about if you can't even get their name correct.

Dang. Everybody else! That's a lot of people. You must have done a great deal of work to check with them all, so clearly I have to yield. I had no idea the entire rest of humanity was so passionate about corporate branding guidelines.

What a cringe reply. I'd love to introduce you to a new word: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hyperbole

Oh no! Now an internet random thinks I'm cringe. Since we're criticizing other people's language choices today, I'll mention that everyone (absolutely everyone) thinks nobody older than 14 should use that word.

Seriously, bub, my problem isn't the hyperbole. It's that you're universalizing your personal preference as a way to try to dominate people. It might work on others, but you won't find an old software developer who minds being called "weird". We were all thought weird.

Now you get it! It's kinda awesome I got to teach you a rhetorical device and you picked up on it so quickly.

My comment was dominating to you? Damn, I'm sorry.

> It might work on others, but you won't find an old software developer who minds being called "weird". We were all thought weird.

What does you being socially awkward have to do with this? You still need to spell company names correctly, regardless of whatever behavioral issues you have.
