Reading about the (pre-Coptic) Egyptian verbal system is still very much hell, as there are three (+) different schools of how to analyze it, and they partly overlap, and some forms are probably illusory modern constructs. And the spelling is crazy.

I assumed this was a dude being misogynistic and then realized-- UK spelling-- weirdly creepy, condescending attitude as tho women are fragile and contemptible-- could we have spotted a wild TERF without her saying anything about trans women?

The spelling is a bit tricky but make sure you get it right: E n l i t t l e n i n g It has a certain sort of soft, twinkly cadence to it that I really love.

Tongues. In the quest to simplify the spelling of english words, that is a word that could be simplified.

…man, fuck this Buzzfeed quiz

Select the word that is spelled correctly:
Lisense Lisence
License Licence

(Both “license” and “licence” are correct depending on UK/CAN or US spelling)
Select the word that is spelled correctly:
Jewellery Jelwery
Jewlry Jewelry

(Again, both “jewellery” and “jewelry” are correct, but Buzzfeed only accepts the American spelling)

Spelling errors matter, because if you are not paying attention to spelling, you are not paying attention to the rest of it.

Love this image of cornrows spelling the word FREE with hairbeads in color of Palestinian flag. Such a powerful and brave political statement communicated through a hairstyle, yet no word was spoken. It reminds me of Kevin Quashie's "The Sovereignty of Quiet" even though I can hear the beads.☺️

‘goose boiler’? Presumably for the fat, which would fit with tallow chandler, although the spelling ‘boyler’ is used earlier on
