Technically neither is "correct" (as if a pronunciation by native speakers could be in any way wrong) as it's originally a Scots word, and in Scots it's pronounced [skɔn] so that it rhymes with "lawn"

@Otome-chan@kbin.social there's definitely been a disconnect between people who just want a reddit alternative and the intended audience of the fediverse i.e. people who want a decentralised internet. I'd wager that a lot of people who left reddit would have happily gone to another social media giant if it had the features they wanted.

ChatGPT 4 is pretty decent at checking code for any mistakes, and it can generate pretty good code if you can describe what you want very well. But sometimes it does give you code with a slight mistake or two, so what I normally do is give it the code in a new chat and get it to check it itself

For instance, the suffix “-ed,” signifying the past tense in modern English, originated in “did” (that is, “did use” became “used”);

What? That is complete and utter nonsense. The -ed suffix comes from the suffix used to form the past tense of weak verbs in Old English, which in turn was derived from the Proto-Germanic preterite (which was an innovation compared to Proto-Indo-European).

The word "did" is just the word "do" with that suffix attached, not the origin of it.

I stopped reading the article as soon as I saw that, it's such blatant misinformation that could have been fact checked with a google search instead of a bizarre folk etymology.
