For me it’s spelling and thesaurus
I feel called out xD (though in my defence, English is my 2nd language)
You’re doing better than at least 1/3 of the world. (This comment is not backed by science. Just by a feeling.)
“Is handrail one word or two words? Better search Wikipedia.” - Me this morning.
When do hyphenated words count as one word and when do they count as two?
In page layout they count as two, since they can break across lines
In crosswords and word searches they can count as one, mostly because small phrases can count as well.
In prose length they can vary: “nuh-uh” is only 1 word since it’s less than six characters, but “antideluvian-american” is almost four, since it’s 21 characters long.
I guess they count as one word when you’re playing an improv or collaborative fiction game?
Hey you’re not what’s their face, no fair giving a serious answer *downvote*
Why use many words when less do just fine?
Spell check.
But like, with a “spell-checker” or a “spellchecker” or a “spell checker”?
my google search history is cursed but my zsh history is blessed because i can just do
zsearch() { cat ~/.zsh_history | grep "$1" }and then if you’re like me and you’re too lazy to type out
zsearchevery time you just doalias z="zsearch"> history l s lss lsd ls-l lsl-Does zsh not have Ctrl+R?
And to check your spelling on some.
My search history is mostly “[word] etymology”. Did you know that Eoin and Owen are etymologically unrelated?
My favorite name etymology is Juan and Ivan being the same name
Everything is John
No matter how many times I look up how to use a semi colon; i just cant get it right.
