I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don’t hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don’t even use.

Who would downvote this? It’s true. It’s helpful. It’s free advice.
It’s true, but not helpful. If it was helpful it would actually tell them it’s spelt “in fact” and not just say: not a word
Is is spelled spelled or spelled spelt?
Both
Depends if you’re hungry.
That would be spelling it out. For me, just saying it’s wrong, and letting someone find out why, that’s hugely more helpful than spoon-feeding Information.
It’s untrue. ‘Infact’ is infact a word by the virtue of it being both used and understood. Language is defined by those who use it.
You are right in principle. New words can pop up. Them being accepted however is not just a matter of a few people using them and saying that it is so.
It’s about usage and being accepted in larger groups or areas. Language is defined by what’s surviving a generation or two. Everything else is slang.
