I'm seeing "antisemitic" written "antisemetic" so many times lately, but I think only the first one is right. I'm no native speaker though.

At least you’re not being anti-semantic

[–] root_beer@midwest.social 21 points 1 year ago

I’m guessing that you’re seeing the latter because a lot of people tend to pronounce it that way

[–] Veraxus@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago

You are correct.

Remember kids, the singular is semite, not semete. Hence, sem_i_tic, with an i.

Actually the first one is left. Unless you write right to left, like in semitic languages. Hehe.
