gas lighting

Gas lighting is the act of lying to someone repetitivly to make that person start questioning reality. Contrary to popular belief it's spelled gas lighting and not gaslighting. It was always spelled gas lighting. It's spelled gas lighting and it will always be like that. That's not an opinion, that's just a fact. If you believe it is spelled gaslighting you might wanna sit down and think about it for a bit. Its okay to sometimes have wrong memories. It happens to the best of us. remembering something that isn't real is also called the mandela effect. It might be the reason you believe its spelled gaslighting but it's actually gas lighting. There's no shame in admitting that you are wrong. Just think about it for a bit. Would it make sense to put these two words together? Why would there be no space between two different words? Like do you write: "I need to cookfoodtoday" or "I need to cook food today". Obviously the latter one. If you keep believing its written gaslighting then there really might be something wrong with you. You might wanna see a doctor or something.

Hey my new friend is constantly lying to me. I think he is gaslighting me.

Dude it's spelled gas lighting not gaslighting. It was always gas lighting. From the moment language was invented gas lighting was spelled with a space in between.

What? I always thought it's gaslighting.

Yeah Nah, you need to see a doctor asap. I called the police on you for your own safety. Get well soon.
