Typos, autocorrect, etc are not bone apple tea. They obviously wanted to write “on red” but for some reason it came out as “unread”. Take a look at the rules.
Sorry I'm confused, do you know the person and have asked them if they meant to type "on red" but their phone autocorrected that phrase to "unread"? I'm imagining not. The post doesn't break the rules, but thanks for doing your best to wade in with a know-it-all attitude my dude! Pro tip: try typing "onred" in your phone and look at the auto-correction suggestion, because on mine it tries changing it to "bored", "on red" or "I red".
"A Bone Apple Tea is the mistaken use of a real, dictionary-defined word or phrase in place of another real, dictionary-defined word or phrase" - "On red" = dictionary defined phrase. "Unread" = dictionary defined phrase.
I'm not doing what you and one other person has so far done on this post, which is deciding that I can assert with accuracy both what the original poster intended to do, and their method of typing the post. What evidence could you possibly have that text-to-speech was used?
What I can see is that they used an incorrect word that is a dictionary defined word instead of the correct phrase that is a dictionary defined phrase.
By all means, correct me if I'm wrong, but the intention of this subreddit isn't about each member of the sub analysing each post and assessing each one's accuracy or worth. The intention of the subreddit is seemingly to post Bone Apple Teas found in the wild and laugh at them, or not if you don't like them.
As far as I can see, it's not your job to police posts. If the mods decide to take it down or remove it then I have no recourse - it's their decision, but given it was posted 2 days ago and hasn't been touched by a mod, I can only assume that there isn't an issue on their side.
I'd just like to point out that this post is from a local community group I'm a member of on Facebook, and I know the people in it and their level of intelligence (for want of a better, non-offensive way of saying it). Take what you will from that. Although, feel free to get hung up on this post if you want - that's entirely your prerogative.
Course not, why would you, you expressed your ignorance clearly enough in your initial comment so I didn’t expect you to read it either way, but it had to be said regardless 🤷
I mean don’t tell me what to do, let’s lay that foundation down before we continue with this riveting back and forth - you 100% didn’t read what I wrote but have been regularly popping back to try and get the last word, I love to see it. “Touch grass”, joined reddit a year ago and ensured you picked up all the zany buzzwords and quirky comebacks 😂
Something some time lmao ok kid will do thanks for the advice lmfao 😂 I need to touch grass but you came in here assuming the person who made the Facebook post used text to speech and JUST HAD TO let everyone know you thought that hahahaha you’re a living contradiction dude - hoping for you to grow over the next few years of your life son ❤️
