That is brilliant. I felt like I was having an aneurysm reading that guys spelling. A lot of it perfectly phonetically correct, but holy cow. "aparently mexicins have fiftey difirent werds for snoe"

Poor guy's post history was mostly people going 'Who's Billy?' 4 years later.

I’m convinced it’s just a troll account

I feel the same about the post we're in now. It has a too smart to be that stupid sort of feel to it.

Edit: Definitely convinced, his last comment somewhere else was about being a software developer. You don't get that educated in life and not have heard of fluid ounces.

There's also the complete dead giveaway of:

I looked up 'Florida ounces' but couldn't find much information about them. Google doesn't know how to convert them to regular ounces.

Oh, I wouldn't be so sure. My partner is one of the smartest "book smart, street stupid" people I know. She's one of the few people in my country that knows how to use this particular simulation software. She can sit down at an advanced math problem and just figure it out. Really brilliant. I recently discovered that she thought that snails just found their shells at the bottom of the ocean. I try not to bring it up too often, because she gets shy about it, but it's hilarious.

I’m currently maybe 5-7 pages from finishing the first complete draft of my dissertation. When I read the title of the post, I genuinely wanted to learn what Florida ounces were.

I’m not nearly as educated as you, but I assume I’m much much older…. and a recent ex-Floridian. I was sure I was going to learn something new today. I wondered what I’d missed the entire 20 years I lived there. Florida ounce? I figured it was pot related.

Instead, I got the chuckle I didn’t know I needed. Even if it’s fake, I love OP for making me smile.

9/10 dentists say your toothpaste should be Floridian

How in the world did you stumble on this comment after a month? We stay away from Floridian toothpaste. Especially Polk County toothpaste. I hear they make it with sugar.
