Makes sense to me; I've always been a naturally good English speller. My brain just knows how to store and retrieve this type of data, which has a high correlation with e.g. CLI interfaces and their idiosyncratic command structures.
- nemosaltat 1y agoI can’t decide if you’ve cheekily included the classic homophonic there-error. This isn’t technically an issue with English spelling, but I think you intended to communicate that CLI interfaces have idiosyncratic command structures, not that they are idiosyncratic structures themselves. If I’ve been taken in by pedant-bait, I apologize.
- QuercusMax 1y agoLol, nope, just a case of my fingers deciding they know what I'm typing, or possibly autocorrect "fixing" something that was already correct. (I don't know why but the Android GBoard has been introducing crazy numbers of wrong homophones recently.)
- deeThrow94 1y agoI'm a terrible speller; it's taken me ten years of typing "ammend" to learn its proper spelling. It also sort of goes against the "programmers are lazy" meme: why memorize what a computer can detect and correct?
