Everyone knows

That it's not your income or number of sinks that define success. It's your word count.

Also, if you can afford to SWATT (the extra T stands for tantrum) yourself more than 40 times, you automatically win the respect of everyone in North America, all your debts are considered paid, and Elon Musk has to personally admit you're the better man.

look, I hate to defend Pat but there is a very simple rule in the largely lawless language that is English, and thats with a consonant-vowel-consonant (C-V-C) ending word, you double the last consonant when adding -ing. SWATTing is perfectly correct, otherwise, it would be the SWATE unit that was called onto the scene. Patrick S Tomlinson is a WRITER, people, if you can't trust a fucking professional, and just want to make up your own rules, that's fine, but most of us TRY to build consensus when it comes to language, that's the point of a language, to have an agreed upon medium of communication, I mean, come on people. Show Pat a little respect.

I think it should be one capital T considering how SWAT means Special Weapons And Tactics. What should the extra capital T stand for if it's not part of the acronym?

much like the -ing, the bonus T doesn't stand for anything.

He just spells it the way he'd pronounce it. "I was swatTed." I'm sorry you're so stupid.
