  blown out pallet palate

  FTFY. A pallet is a small bed or an object used for carrying things, a palate is part of the mouth or one’s ability to taste things. Pretty pedantic,I know, but I have this compulsion to correct misused homophones, so… Sorry? You’re welcome? Either way, have a great day!

    I prefer palette because tastes are kinda like colours.

      That’s just the synesthesia talking.

    Don’t apologize for being who you are, if only because the apology was more annoying than the patronizing correction.

      It’s always worthwhile to be self-aware and to be conscious of the parts of your personality that others might be annoyed by or take offense to. I’m not going to change that part of my personality just to please others, but I don’t think it’s annoying to acknowledge that others might not appreciate that part of who I am.

      But hey, you do you. If being your authentic self means not caring about how your words affect the feelings of others, then that’s just who you are, I guess.

        I for one appreciated both aspects of your comment. It’s good to understand both yourself and others and to seek to find a balance between genuine self expression and consideration. Also it’s good info that many lack

    It wasn’t a misunderstood homophone, but an autocorrected one which I didn’t feel was important enough to correct.

      Yeah autocorrect has gotten markedly more annoying about that.

        the best is when you manually edit it 3 times but it keeps changing it

    Then why is Pallet Town spelled like that? It’s a reference to colors.

      In all honesty, I think it’s likely a simple mistake.

      The object that artists use to hold their paints is actually a third homophone, spelled palette.

      It could be that the word choice was intentional and is referencing the character’s bed, but I find it more likely that it was simply lost in translation from the original Japanese

  From a soda fountain I can’t tell the difference because they always get mixed wrong anyway. Out of a can yeah they’re different.
