Fuck it, it's now "Nesisary"
"Needed"
Do the needful.

English is a second language to me, and at this point it's probably the only commonly used word I consistently mess up. It usually ends up something like 'nessecairy'
Totally understandable, one of a handful of English words that I both know are spelled βwrongL and also have to put conscious thought into spelling before I write it.
Ironicly, "conshus" one such candidate for me.
Can never remember how to spell this absolute fuckery of a word. I concur.
English is my second language, but I've always remembered it by "one cardigan, two socks" necessary
That's so weird. I'm dyslexic and all but this word is very much common sense for me. Maybe because I'm a polyglot and in Italian it's necessario?
Necessary is literally spelt how it's pronounced though.
I'm not sure you meant this as a joke but it is funny.
Learning yet another irregular pronunciation because some N-hundred years ago their majesty Shithead von Cunt wanted to sound fancy and everyone just played along is not funny.
cries, not knowing how to properly pronounce most English words
Thatβs a bit unesesary
Necessary? I would have never thought of any of those weird spellings. It's spelled like it's said lol.
Nesree
wait was it nesisary or nesusary.
nesesary? nesasary? nesysary?
