Homonyms are really hard for dyslexic people, it has nothing to do with ignorance. Linguistic discrimination exists, so does literacy privilege. If you can understand what the meaning was just roll with it.

I mean if I know what the person is trying to say. I'm not going to make them feel bad about spelling errors. It's like being upset because someone breaths the same air as you. People are dyslexic or have a harder time with spelling and writing. If you know good and well what the person means and you still go out of your way to bring up the spelling error. That makes you the b******e. To busy tearing people down for things that don't truly matter. People have just lost all understanding and regard for everything and everyone. Being s h i t t y when there's really no need. Is just sad really. Now if you truly cannot comprehend what someone is saying. You still don't need to point out their errors. You can kindly and respectfully talk to them and say I'm not really understanding but I want to, can you explain more? I guess making people feel less than is okay to some people. But it's really not.

Definitely v defiantly Whenever anyone says they are defiantly going to do something, I imagine them with a determined jutted chin as they face their battle.

"Wallah" instead of "Voila". Just say/write "Ta da" .

I'm generally ok with grammar, except one situation: Affect vs Effect. I have a sense of which to use normally, or for some sentences, but at other times I'm totally unsure which is correct. So I just generally avoid it, and that seems to be pretty effective 😉

As an English teacher, I can confidently say that English doesn't follow its own rules haha. The number of times students ask me why one word doesn't follow the rules of phonetics established by previous words we've learned is a lot of times haha.

I feel like an idiot after reading this...

English (my native tongue) is sort of messed up even when used perfectly.

How can you not have "to lie" vs "to lay"? In the USA, whether they mean the intransitive "to lie" (like to lie down) and the transitive "to lay" (I lay the phone on the table), they always use "to lay", like "he lays down". No! It doesn't help that the past and perfect tenses of the two verbs have a lot of overlap, but my goodness, learn to speak English properly.

In Dutch; "sfeer" and "zweer" which are phonetically similar but the former addresses the ambiance in a room and the latter addresses a pestering sore :')

"Very unique." The word "unique" is already a superlative; you cannot modify it to make it more of what it already is. Same for "very best." "Best" is it; there's nothing better than "best."

Oh man, I loved scrolling through this, so many like-minded people, so satisfying. Let's all do this again sometime.

the sound when someone says Illinois as a plural entity kills me. there is only one state of Illinois

Reminds me of the fantastic poem a The Chaos by Charivarius. I challenge you to say it out loud 😄 https://g.co/kgs/AZFfBM

"Pacific" instead of "Specific"

Hello community. What about "if I would have"? It seems to crop up in a lot of American stuff, but I was taught it was wrong. "If I *had*…. Then I *would have*..."

Did and done….. I did it NOT I done it Decimate. This means to reduce by 10%
