Think there’s been a mix-up. My contract says I’m only allowed to spell words of 9 letters or fewer

ASIDE:

One thing I pride myself on is well dece spelling. I can do that shit.

My boss wants us all to install and use Grammerly, so that there are no mistakes on the websites/emails/etc. I don’t want to, because I think if I start using it, I’ll overly rely on it, and stop thinking about how to do things properly myself. The problem isn’t me, it’s the other fuckers who aren’t so well dece at the spelling, but I still think it’s a bad thing for humanity (like autocorrect) that’ll stop people putting the very small effort into learning how to do things properly, and putting effort into things.

What are your thoughts on this @ma0sm, @anon5266188 and the rest of the community.drownedinsound.com community?

I think it’s fine to use tools to help you do things like spelling and that. Doesn’t matter does it really.

#27

Just think it’s another thing people won’t bother learning properly. Lazy humans, etc.

#28

Yeah but there will be other things to learn instead

I got told to install that when i started my current job. Uninstalled it after a few weeks because my spelling and grammar are adequate fof the job I do and it was mainly only highlighting things I disagreed with it about and jargon it wasn’t familiar with. It was also getting in the way.

Edit: yes there is at least one typo in this post. My job doesn’t require much spelling/grammar/typing accuracy.

Pedant.

I spelled February, Febuary for literally years and no one called me up on it

Pretty sure this is proof that my entire life is a simulation, and there was a glitch a few years back that changed the spelling. Like that film that “doesn’t exist” but loads of people think they’ve seen

spent about 30 seconds staring at the word ‘manoeuvre’ earlier and realised there’s absolutely no way i’m ever going to learn how to spell it properly and will always get the red squiggly line to correct it.

To remember the order of the vowels in the middle I think of

Oxford
English
Unicycle

Has helped me spell it perfectly every time :stars:

Why isn’t lotser the opposite of fewer? More gets to be the big swinging dick of both discrete and continuous variables whilst less and fewer get fucking knocked.

This reminds me of a French lesson at school when my teacher asked me what I thought the term “travaux manuels” meant and I looked at the two words separately and said “hand…jobs?”
