"monologue"
- mattigames 6y agoSounds better and shorter than: give me a summary of how your traversed your decision tree to come out with this answer, which to be honest is pretty close to what a monologue actually is
- joshu 6y agoI'm just pointing out that they misspelled it. But thanks for explaining the word to me.
- mattigames 6y agoThe universal symbol for correcting misspellings is an asterisk and then the correct spelling, not quotes.

- joshu 6y agoWhat is your point? Your experience is not universal.
- blixt 6y agoHehe I guess this is subjective, but I tend to write mostly in American English, and I tend to use the "modernized" forms of words like monologue, hence monolog. As far as I know most dictionaries recognize it as a valid version of the word, anyway.
