Necessary and necessarily for me. Can’t spell 'em to save my life.
this is why i’m enjoying learning steno, if i forget how to spell a word i can usually just sound it out :^)
This is still a thing? Where? Why?
steno’s not just court, it’s still the easiest way to do live tv captioning and CART and such
there’s also still a big hobbyist group around it, plover and hobbyist stenoboards have made it pretty easy to get into from that angle insteadLive tv captioning is a thing? Tho i get the hobbyist thing, just didn’t think of that.
yep! think news broadcasts and such, certain places have requirements on how much of live tv is captioned and to what accuracy to be accessible for the deaf and hard of hearing
Cool to know. Would’ve absolutely not thought there’s still a need of steno at all. Haven’t consumed any TV in the last 3 decades, so i might be really off the pulse of time :-)
De-finite-ly
People online tell me that language is fluid and spelling is interpretive. Just let your reviewers know that if they mark anything!
language is fluid and spelling is interpretive
Said every dipshit American that can’t spell in their own native language 😂
Language is fluid, but standardised spellings are helpful for clarity and ease of reading.
Fuck you, Kris.
Anybody who’s every read a document written prior to the eighteenth century will tell you that people had a pretty “interpretive” way of spelling back in the day lol.
English [Simplified]
The hallmark of a truly sophisticated language is the ability to express complex thoughts consistently and conscisely.
And without so many unnecessary U’s.
Yeah it’s totally only an American thing 🙄

i hope i never have to write beruacracy in an academic context
I can tell.
Conventions of English be damned, I spell it defiantly.
You sure do.
Me, writing an entire sentence describing process, rules and hierarchy within an organization so that I don’t have to try to spell the single word which describes this concept:
Definitively definite defined definition.
It’s rreeccoommeenndd and so many others for me …
“Commend” is not as difficult for me so I just remember it as re-commend
Oohh, I’ll try to remember thqt, thanks!

Assuming the error is with accidentally writing defiantly in lieu of definitely, I used to tell myself “There is definitely not an a in definitely.”
I always remember the phrase, “If you spell definitely with an ‘a’ you’re definitely an asshole”. Harsh, but it stuck in my head really well.
Can you do “effect” versus “affect” for me?
That one’s easy. That’s discreet vs. discrete tier stuff. Get me some of that say your piece / peace stuff, awwww yeah—I’m defiantly good at grammer.
Effect is a vErb.
Affect is a nAhn.
