We just really wish when we stole them we changed the spelling to match the pronunciation if we wanted the pronunciation to stay the same of where we stole it from.

Totally not me having problems spelling that word at 29.

What IS that D doing THERE?

My poor GF knows English as a second language and was very embarrassed when I pointed out the L was silent, because she had been saying it that way her entire life.

But mostly to her parents who also speak Spanish, so mostly she was embarrassed that I had to tell her XD In Spanish you pronounce the L, so she didn’t even consider that the L was silent in English (Because why would it be).

I failed to read the the poem properly.

This language is just… ugh.

Etobicoke

Upon googling it I found it’s pronounced like this: Uh tow buh kow

So yes.

I like this one because I instantly knew what word it was despite it having a brand new spelling. Almost like letters should have meanings.

Well which word would you pick for that?

People like you being in charge is how English got to this position in the first place!

OOF Pneumonia.

Like, what a cursed word. How would you even spell that? Nuhmownyuh?

You start at the library… then you read a series they only have the first 2 of and fall in love.

So you need to buy the third one somewhere… then you have a choice to make, do you really buy JUST the third of a series? May as well just buy the box set…

Same! If you wanna talk about niche, I make games that are blind accessible. I’m quirky and obscure even for a hobbyist game dev.

I google “mäusespeck” and I get a picture of marshmallows, and a wikipedia article talking about marshmallows https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Mäusespeck

Looks rather popular with how many reviews it has, and there are like lots of news stories on it.

But it looks really fun so I may grab it anyway!

It looks like it got a movie adaptation, so looks like it’s pretty popular. But sounds cool regardless!

I… for some reason am seeing red at the idea of a game I am playing not letting me rebind keys? It’s such a bare minimum feature and is so frustrating when you can’t.

Okay that’s cool, but after spending 20 hours setting that up… slightly different looking, but in a way that requires you start over entirely?

I actually recently sold my car and “upgraded” (to me) to an electric scooter! So hearing about electronic unicycles is right up my alley.

Games like that are also notorious, at least for me, where I constantly am like “ooh if I start a new game I can do X differently, I wonder what that’ll be like…”

I love watching stuff like that! I’ll have to watch some of their stuff!

Ugh this is why I can’t play Vanilla mount and blade warband.

In every single city you enter, you have to find the important people to talk to. They all are the exact same people, but you have to find them. And they are all in different places in the city, but there is absolutely nothing else interesting in the city to find. Like there are no secrets, you just have to wander the city looking for the Quest Giver in an otherwise bland city.

Every single mod ever simply adds a button you can click saying “Speak to guild master”
