I definitely had to Google "definitely" more times than I'm proud of. I've got it now though ๐Ÿ˜…

[โ€“] BugleFingers@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Are you sure?

[โ€“] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I remembered the correct spelling by associating it with "finite" in my memory.

If you're using a mainstream browser you can spell it wrong > right click & correct.

[โ€“] someguy3@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

That's defiantly the way to do it.

Thanks for the tip. People who pay attention who have correctly spelled output might not be the target audience.

I've taken to "saying" it in my head as defy-nightly because I always wanna turn that 2nd i into an e.

Just can wait for the day I'm talking to someone and actually pronouce it that way lol

But when are you going to get it in your head cannon that you have to signafy seperation between there's and they're's. Its more important then punctuation even

Me too. Common words like wheelbarrow, triangle, anal.

Somehow I always end up on urban dictionary.

That's a real hawk tuah on the legacy of grippigrom axtek.

"Google, why am I stupid?"

I looked up sewn the other day... Because I wasn't sure I was spelling it correctly.

[โ€“] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why were you looking upsewn? The way is sidesown now.

[โ€“] someguy3@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not much what's up with you?

I use dictionaries (QuickDic and Ciyue, both on F-droid) on my phone. Much faster than looking it up on the internet. Also, if I'm not sure about foreign language sentences, I just translate them twice using DeepL. It works the same way if you ask AI to correct your text, but faster.

What do you mean... disappointed? That is funny.
