Bert's been a 2x2 for over half a century now and, like many 2x2's, has a non-traditional, yet well ingrained, style when it comes to how he interprets what others say/write. We aren't going to change this; We can only learn to work around it.
This thread is dedicated to documenting these little fringe traits and how to work around them.
I'll get things started.
I saw this in another thread. Bert uses the PROPER NOUN "Truth" and the NOUN "truth" interchangeably. To many of us, these are not interchangeable. Bert uses the capital T and lower-case T interchangeably. To many of us, these each have their place. So, for the sake of communicating more effectively with bert, let us start putting the usage of the word in parenthesis after the word. For example:
Bert's church is sometimes called the "Truth" (proper noun) and some of its members are unaware of the "truth" (noun) about the group's founder.
