English speakers in 2025 - nooooo, that word has 2 S, you can't write it with one, :cry:, I need autocorrect to write 1!1!
English speakers in 1625 - how did you say that word?, nesesari?, just put a c there for the style and another s to sound more educated, it's Latin you know, just go with the vibes man
This was me a few hours ago with the word incentivize. I had to try like 4 times before I got it right, and even then I looked it up before sending the message just to be safe.
I know that there are words like this that I struggle with but I don't remember which ones. I can't fathom knowing a word like this, knowing I can't spell it, and just like... being okay with that? Like bro, do what little kids do. Write it down on a piece of paper ten times. Spell it out loud. It takes 3 minutes to permanently commit it to memory. You're gonna let first graders be better at this than you, an adult, with a fully developed brain?

“Necessary” I’m fine with. “Unnecessarily” is impossible for me though. Can’t even get close enough for autocorrect, needed to use the microphone…

I should've read the comments before I commented with my comment which was basically what you said but less eloquently.

Wrufieotnak@feddit.org · 2 pts · 1y
Necessary was never a problem for me.
Immediately though... I thank the auto correct for that one each time. When it finally figures out what I mean from my input nonsense.

Necessary is one of those I never struggled with somehow! Miscellaneous and mischief, on the other hand...
