Mi-scel-la-ne-ous

As a non-native, fuck that word
- As a native, fuck that word. I also dislike spelling the word convenience.
  
  Well...That is very convenient.
- Here's more reason to hate English

- Wait until you learn about buoyancy
  
  I'm a lonely buoy
- Acquaintance is that word for me. I just type 'aqu' and my phone handles the rest. God help me if I ever have to write that down without access to the internet. I also let my phone handle 'necessary' because I never know how many c's and s's there are and where they go.
bu·reauc·ra·cy

Yeah Webster, that doesn’t really help.
.
- I feel like ace ventura taught a whole generation how to spell beautiful right every time.
  
  Jim Carrey is a treasure.
  
  Wasn't it Bruce Almighty?
Suns-day Moons-day Tyrs-day Wodens-day Thors-day Frias-day Saturns-day
- You guys really have to stop starting weeks on the wrong day.
  
  You're right, Woden the All-father should be first.
  
  On Thursday? But I like Thor.
- I like how there are days for the sun and the moon, a bunch of nordic gods and then Saturn for some reason.
  
  It wasn't enough that he got Saturnalia
  
  They were all celestial bodies. The rest just got more myth attached to them. The Norse names are all sort of kinda mostly the equivalents of the Roman counterparts, and those are famously where we get the names for the planets.
  
  Sunday
  
  Moonday
  
  Mercuryday
  
  Jupiterday
  
  Venusday
  
  Saturnday
  
  Ther wasn't a great Norse version of Saturn, so it just kept its name. Even as it is, some of those conversions are pretty flimsy.
Feb-ru-ary!
- How many of us pronounce it like, Feb-U-ary?
  
  Would that be everyone?
  
  Honestly, the makeup of the words (this and weds) are suck mental.. I both love and hate English for these ridiculous discrepancies...
  
  Its not a language, its a fustercluck!
Greg-nag-nant
- Is there a possibly that I'm Gregnant?
  
  Grrrregnant!
restaront
- B-e-a-utiful
  
  Jim Carey forever helped us spell that word.
  
  definitely beautiful
  
  Beauty Beauty-full Beautiful
- Rest-AWWWW-ront
Using a mnemonic device IS smart.
For me it’s always ‘bus-in-ess’
- Busy-ness
  
  Busi-ness
  
  That's how I do it.
- It's like "busy", but a noun.
  
  Don't ask me why the y becomes an i and silent...
I've given up long ago, now I just write önsdag and whoever gets it gets it
English, you so crazy!
- Yep

B-e-a-utiful

Also: Baby Eats Candy Apples Until She Explodes
Massachusetts
I'd have still read it like that even without the dashes 😂

Honestly, if you don't say/think it like that your life is sad and I pity you with the utmost sincerety 😤🫶🏻.
- I think you mean Woden's-day
My thoughts on that
Feb-ru-ary
1-800-ABCDEFG !
