Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:

/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

You are correct:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/hoard-vs-horde-difference-usage
"The line between hoard and horde gets particularly blurred when the word is used simply to mean a large amount of something abstract, as in reasons or problems. Unless you are dealing with living creatures, hoard is the preferred spelling."
I know I'm correct. Tell those that downvote.
lol, that's essentially what I did. I even supplied a reputable source for you. Oft times this is what's needed. It sometimes isn't enough to only list the correct word/spelling. The link here also helps explain a bit more which can be of further help.
Even moreso, the correction is only of tangential importance so ignore the downvotes. Perhaps some folks feel the topic at hand is far larger an issue than correct spelling.
Nothing is a larger issue than correct spelling.
