I remember fourth grade spelling bee, they gave me a homophobe to spell. I can't remember which, I've worked myself into a lather with this story enough that it's changed over the years, but I didn't ask to use it in a sentence and the mean teacher smiled like a fat toad that needed to fart and you were licking it for hallucinating and it was not that type of toad and said no it's spelled with an E and the kid from her class won and I held it together until I got home and then I cried.
I just wanted to tell the story I'm sure there was a point at somewhere but this place downtown has good donuts.
Sohool, SCH00L, the golden rule
To do what's right and not be fooled
By memes that claim there is an order
To the os inside of school
Well listen here
Let's set it straight
And put an end to this debate
If you spell school with os at all
Then you've been spelling it all wrong
There's not a single o, not one
You can count them, zero. None.
I'm not sure how this myth began
Or why these falsehoods are still taught
But you can get your bippy
This misspellings got to stop
School is one of those words that leads to semantic satiation (or maybe just spelling satiation) quickly for me. The more frequently I write it, the more it seems that I can't possibly be spelling it right.

Ah the secret 3rd O. I've heard of it but never found it myself.

No see this is actually pointing to South Hool, a classic blunder to have forgotten the space in-between the letters. (/s)

I like how it looks like you're all trying to spell it normally, but are getting progressively more drunk as the thread goes on 😄

Giving a homophobe to spell is unacceptable!

No, you're thinking of when milk fat is evenly mixed in, when your eyes are different colours that's homeostasis.
