I will never in my life spell "maitenence" correctly without spellcheck/autocorrect.

out of curiosity, do you speak french

[–] hrimfaxi_work@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

Not very much. I took two years of it in college, but I'm a poor student of language even by United States standards. I was a middling speaker, and my reading & writing comprehension was frankly pathetic. How come?

Govern -> Government
Settle -> Settlement
Judge -> *Judg*ment

I advocate for "judge" to be spelled "judg" for adherence to English standards.

[–] complacent_jerboa@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Holy shit, I've been spelling it "judgement" this whole time.

You know what? I'm gonna keep spelling it my way. I don't fucking care if it's "wrong". I'm over my grammar nazi arc, we grammar anarchy now.

[–] Lazylazycat@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Motion carried.

[–] Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago

I advocate for fucking up all the other words for adherence to English standards.

The educated knows to avoid pitfalls. The educated knows how to do maths with imaginary fingers. The educated can sing the alphabet song in their head to figure out which letter comes before or after.

The inteli–… intell– Intel Ligent™ person knows to live and breathe the weaknesses their own stupidity brings.

“Restaurant” eludes me and I spend like a decade working in them.

[–] Lazylazycat@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yep, I have to say "rest-au-rant" in my head every time.

[–] Nerdybynature@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Absolutely. Every time I’ve had to fill out a job application and don’t have autocorrect at my disposal, that’s how I’m doing it.

Res Taur Ant

Meaning resurrect the Tauren over there named Ant. Just play enough WoW raids and you'll lern spells real good.

[–] Nerdybynature@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I play almost exclusively Tauren Druid, so now I feel silly for never making this association.

[–] PaupersSerenade@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago

Be-a-utiful 🤌🏻

[–] AshLassay@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yeah why is the “d” still in Wednesday when you don’t pronounce it? Even other Germanic language have removed it. Or do English speaker still honor Odin/Woden?

[–] Lazylazycat@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Yes, we respect the D of our Nordic Gods 😏

[–] Eagle0600@yiffit.net 2 points 2 years ago

I pronounce it.

[–] Dardlem@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

I'm in this picture and I don't like it.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

That's not your fault though, it's the weak, stupid, uneducated language

[–] Diabolo96@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Cry in french.

[–] complacent_jerboa@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Don't you just love the wonders of English spelling?
