Good try my friend.
FUCK.
out of curiosity, do you speak french
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?

Also with fe-bru-ary.
And don't forget Ju-ly.
That’s so racist.

Leave Wednesday. Return to Wōdnesdæg.
Govern -> Government
Settle -> Settlement
Judge -> *Judg*ment
I advocate for "judge" to be spelled "judg" for adherence to English standards.
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.
Motion carried.
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.
Be-a-utiful 🤌🏻
“Restaurant” eludes me and I spend like a decade working in them.
Yep, I have to say "rest-au-rant" in my head every time.
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.
I play almost exclusively Tauren Druid, so now I feel silly for never making this association.
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?
Yes, we respect the D of our Nordic Gods 😏
I pronounce it.
I'm in this picture and I don't like it.
That's not your fault though, it's the weak, stupid, uneducated language
Cry in french.
Don't you just love the wonders of English spelling?
