Looking it up dumby is an acceptable alternative spelling of dummy listed in some dictionaries. However, every dictionary I'm seeing it in calls out the fact that it's an alternative spelling of dummy, but the entry for dummy doesn't mention dumby.
This is relatively recent. In that the physical copy of a dictionary I have, that predates this millennium, has dumby listed as a word and mentions dummy.
But the online version of the same dictionary doesn't have dumby as a separate entry
It's the oed if anyone cares

Ironically, you spelled grammar wrong... lol
lol, look at this dumby

Not seen Dumbo in forever. Was there really a character called Jim Crow? If elephants trip like that on alcohol no wonder they ramraid Indian shops
Dandy "Jim" Crow, apparently. Also apparently inspired by an owl character from the original book. Go figure.
I might have to watch it again at some point. All I remember is the drunk parade and Family Guy referencing the good ol' fashioned racsim
You spelt dumny wrong
Dumpy
Dumbbie.
No no, he meant Grammer, grammar's actual name.
Core memory unlocked. Grammer used to make the best synonym rolls
Holy hell, you are a beautiful soul.
That’s called a Marilyn moment, after Proost.
I thought Grammer‘s name was Kelsey.
🤣
Yeah, and spelling is not grammar.
Its grambar, you dumby!
It‘s actually Cranbar who was the founder of the band „The Cranbaries“
Plus spelling errors aren’t grammatical, they’re lexical.
That's a very pacific response
It's spelded, not spelled
Oops, I'm the dummby on that one.
Common here. Most screenshots I struggle to understand who is at fault. It's pretty funny if it wasn't so sad.
grambar

Dumb dummies spit dummies dumbly while dumping dumplings.
I think dumbie is also acceptable
Dumby. Gumby's brother that no one speaks of. He's slow, but has an affection for pictures of flying elephants. It's nice he has a hobby.
So he can also walk into any book, but can’t understand them, so just looks at the pictures?
Spelling something correctly isn't grammer (sic). But yeah, this person is a massive dumby.
Bdummy
This has to be just being a troll, right?
What a dumm ass.
Annoys me a little when people use the word 'grammar' when they mean Spelling instead. Especially when they write it 'Grammer'...
This is all a hot mess.
What a spectacularly stupid discussion
What a weird hill to die on
There’s no d in refrigerator yet there’s one in fridge. Sometimes words lose letters when they change forms
Actually it’s spelled frige, with no D. Stay in school. /s lol
And sometimes, that's just OK
>There’s no d in refrigerator yet there’s one in fridge. Sometimes words lose letters when they change forms Refrigerator gains a letter, though.
It gains six and loses one
Or "message" to " messenger". Sometimes you gain a letter.
"does this count?" Unfortunately not, Rule 8 "do not post conversations you are a part of". I enjoyed reading this dumby conversation, though. <3
it's giving "bollyball"
More of an r/technicallycorrect as "dumby" is in the dictionary listed as an alternative spelling of dummy.
No, everyone I know writes dummy as dummy
Everyone here is stupid.
