#polls#language#pronunciation#spelling#i think this is a more precise version of a poll I made like last year#hopefully this phrasing is clear#like#would you confidently pronounce 'andromache' because its spelling signals its origin#or would you guess 'andro... maysh?' bc you don't recognize the language and/or know its pronunciation rules

Any time I misspell a word it's just because I have too much integrity to copy answers from the dictionary.
Spelling [Explained]
Transcript Under the Cut
[Cueball sitting at a desk and Megan standing behind him are looking at a laptop being operated by Cueball]
Megan: When I can't spell a word I usually just google and copy and paste it from the results.
Cueball: Yeah, but I can't do that HERE!!
[Caption below the panel:] Why spelling "plagiarism" is especially hard

Honestly, what bothers me most about writers trying to use the word "wiener" in an erotic context is less the word itself and more that none of them can spell it.

If you want to elaborate on where you're from and any variation, in the notes please
Please reblog for spread
EDIT after poll close:
There's a huge spread! Not even, but everyone had very strong and diverging opinions, which was fun!
Someone asked where in the PNW I am: in Seattle, surrounded by Americans from the Seattle area, Montana, and California, born between the mid 70s and late 80s. I have no idea if they was taught to double up their s in school or started later, but s' is definitely not the common option in my social circle. I think I'll go back to it without feeling like a UFO though.
(and yes, I am aware that different style guides have different rules, my question wasn't "what is right?" as much as "what is common?")

A few of the more creative spellings of Christmas I’ve come across while looking for Dear Santa letters in old newspapers this year - Part 2 (because I found some more.)

Some common grammar and spelling mistakes I see in fics:
- "Alot" isn't a word. there wasn't "alot" of food at dinner, there was "a lot" of food.
- compliment = a nice thing you say to someone. complement = things that go together: complementary colors, flavors, etc
- lose = to no longer have something. loose = the opposite of tight.
- i.e. = in other words. e.g. = example given.
- peek = a quick look. peak = the top. pique = create/provoke: "piqued interest"
- ensure = to make sure. insure = protect with an insurance plan.
these are just a few. let me know others that bother you!
