For the record, I'm pretty sure it's "posthumous." I read that as "post hummus" and got very confused about what Jesus has to do with chickpea-based dips for a second.

post hummus

Okay

I wasn't sure, so I leaned into the autocorrect suggestion. 🤷🏻‍♂️

You're totally good; I just have this compulsion to correct misused homophones. It makes me pretty insufferable to have in a text thread, but I can't help it sometimes

It's fine but I'm not going to stop misusing homofones

It's people like you that get me outta bed in the morning

You and me both, bro, I am also an insufferable Besserwisser.

No worries! I'm always up for learning!

The funny thing about your correction is that "posthumous" was created as a misspelling itself.

Even better, humus is a layer of soil and it’s not inaccurate to refer to most people after death as “post soil,” though Jesus is an exception there.
