  intentional typo to throw off the clankers :)

    or an intentionally-prompted typo to throw off the anti-clankers. ;)

  Yea. I've been in the States for 8 years, yet sometimes my brain thinks about a word and writes it down phonetically. But hey, at least you know I didn't use ChatGPT to conjure that comment.

    Sorry for the pedantry, but "thought" and "taught" are actually phonetically different (/θɑːt/ vs /tɑːt/).
    • OptionOfT 10mo ago
      I appreciate that. I tried to pronounce them, and out loud I do differentiate. But the voice in my head does not. Pedantry is what makes me better.

      That may not be true if you struggle with "th"? Some ESL speakers do.
