SPELLING - Tumblr Posts
I still remember that someone called hesh "burnt man" because of his war paint.
I got into a fight with her
Me: reading the name Geoffrey, knowing fine well it’s pronounced the same as Jeffrey
Also me: Ge-off-rey
Sometimes I’m trying to exist
and then I remember, in America, it’s spelt Ax, not Axe
which feels so wrong
And I live in America
You learn something new every day.
saw someone misspell "stochastic terror" as "socratic terror" so I'd like to clarify that stochastic terror is the public demonization of a person or group resulting in the incitement of a violent act that seems random but is not, while "socratic terror" is what every athenian felt when they went down to the agora in the 5th century and saw an old man with a beard approaching them
do you understand
You get a lot of weird requests when people find out you can draw semi-decently, but by far my favorite was the time when my grandma saw an antique quilt that she liked and she asked me to help her pirate the pattern.
Yo ho ho. ☠️🏴☠️
YES FINALLY SOME GOOD FUCKING GRAMMAR
IT’S NOT ‘PEEKED’ MY INTEREST
OR ‘PEAKED’
BUT PIQUED
‘PIQUED MY INTEREST’
THIS HAS BEEN A CAPSLOCK PSA
cracks him like a glowstick
Yesterday. 17 June 2014. Nutshell.
Rainy day in Dallas, 68 degrees F. Listening to Best of #Yiruma - makes me feel like I'm in a HayaoMiyazaki film.
Hmm, maybe in My Neighbor Tortoro (I occasionally see soot sprites in my apartment, out of the corner of my eye, and sometimes I feel like the ill mother), or maybe Howl's Moving Castle (doing my hand-stitch mending feels like Sophie spiffing up the hats, and I clean like a madwoman when I'm upset sometimes). Haven't seen Arietty yet.
I need to stop being lazy & learn how to spell that temperature scale that isn't Centigrade, Celsius, or Kelvin. :P
you know what’s fun? Spelling out my accent
coupla= a couple of
y’know= you know
what’re ya doon= what are you doing
iffin ya’sha= if you’re sure
Whadd’yado/whadd’yedo= what do you do (usually in the context of *insert bad event here* “but what are you going to do 🤷♀️”)
Sha fie wa’ta= sure fire way to
Sort of ordered these from most to least readable/undersrandable
I actually write this way in my texts sometimes and it fucks with people big time
This is what I get for spelling words the way they sound when I say them
These get even better when you realise I’m from Arizona (USA) so these come out of my mouth sounding something between a southern accent and a California accent.
I kinda love seeing other people make the same kind of spelling mistakes that I do.
Like the name ‘Michael’. Super common name. Still spell it wrong 50% of the time. But so does everyone else.
it’s meant to be spelled ‘knitting kneedles’. deep in your heart you know this to be true
Can people PLEASE learn the difference between queue, cue, and que
Queue - a line, like the kind you might have to stand in for a movie, or it could be the list of songs that you told your music software to play next
Cue - to signify/a signifier for something to happen. cue the music. oh no I missed my cue. it's also what the sticks for hitting the balls in pool are called, but I don't see people messing thar up as often
Que - not, in fact, an English word. you can pretend it's the Spanish word for "what," but the truth is, you'd still be spelling it wrong (it's qué, with an accent). in reality, this is the Spanish word "that" or "than," as in "the house that is green" or "she's taller than you."
googledocs you are getting awfully uppity for something that can’t differentiate between “its” and “it’s” correctly
