Not to detract from the brilliant levity of this thread, but . . .

There's nothing misleading about it.

The thing you need to understand is when you read "Fixed it for you," that really means "I have taken your quote and altered it."

To break it down:

"Fixed" = "I have altered"

"it" = "Your original post"

"for you" = "in an attempt to use Internet humor"

I don't make the rules, it's just the way these Internets work.
