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

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.

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

"Google, why am I stupid?"

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.

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

[โ€“] MutilationWave 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)
