I learned to spell definitely right because I noticed at some point that it's de-finitely like infinite.

nessesary. I don't even give a fuck. Gave up trying to spell that one right a long time ago. I'll use it in a sentence.

Is perfect spelling necessary? The fuck it is.

Heh, that actually looks right. ^^ Thanks OP, maybe it'll stick this time.

More than a third of the language comes from French. Mostly the pretentious part. Like pretentious. And part.

one thing i do like. the lack of grammatical gender. that fell out of english mixing with french. it's not a property of french but it fell out of the mixing which resulted in the unwieldy presence of four grammatical genders which were clustered into analogously clustered into two categories

Just to clear this up... Psilocybe is pronounced si - lo - si - bee

can't tell you guys how many Americans I meet who pronounce it si - lo - sibe




You sure?

from the dictionary...
Psilocybin[nb 1] (/ˌsɪləˈsaɪbɪn/ SIL-ə-SY-bin)

I couldn't imagine saying it the other way...

Yes, but psylocybe and psylocybin aren't words.

This may help you pronounce psilocybe.

I retract that statement lol. I figured they would be the same, but then I realized taxonomic names are often completely different than the words they're similar to.
