  My wife caught my googling “why do we say baloney in stead of bologna”, took a photo of it, and roasted me on Instagram. And I still don’t know why.

      Depending on how I’d take the humour I think this is fine. If my partner did this to me, it would just make it funnier to me.

      Definitely don’t actually bully or intentionally upset your partner of course, but depending on the banter dynamics, it could be ok.

  For old times’ sake.

  The European Commission has announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the EU, rather than German, which was the other contender. Her Majesty’s Government conceded that English spelling had room for improvement and has therefore accepted a five-year phasing in of “Euro-English”.

  In the first year, “s” will replace the soft “c”. Sertainly, this will make sivil servants jump for joy. The hard “c” will be dropped in favour of the “k”, Which should klear up some konfusion and allow one key less on keyboards.

  There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome “ph” will be replaced with “f”, making words like “fotograf” 20% shorter.

  In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of the silent “e” is disgrasful.

  By the fourth yer, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing “th” with “z” and “w” with “v”.

  During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary “o” kan be dropd from vords kontaining “ou” and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters. After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis and everivun vil find it ezi to understand ech ozer. ZE DREM VIL FINALI KOM TRU!

  If enough people do the dictionaries will eventually change it.

  “Queue”

  Just use Cue, Que or simply “Q”

  Or

  QUwUe

  source

  • Jerkface@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    QUwUeue

    source
  • shasta@lemm.ee ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Well “que” is a very common Spanish word but that would probably be ok. “Cue” is already an English word with at least 2 meanings.

• pancakes@sh.itjust.works ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Because then it would be too close to “balcony” and it would confuse people

  source

  • GluWu@lemm.ee ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I have bad dyslexia but I think I’d be able to figure it out based on context. Balcony sandwiches would be too big and dry, and I wouldn’t want to step out on anyone’s baloney.

• CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  On the same note, we should either change the spelling to “rondevoo”, or pronounce rendezvous as “ren-dez-vouse”, this having words pronounced entirely different from the spelling just adds confusion

  source

  • cafeinux@infosec.pub ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    The word coming french has to do with it in this case. But to be fair, the french changed the spelling of “beefsteak” to “bifteck” to match the spelling with the pronunciation, so feel free to write “rondevoo”, I guess.

  • doctordevice@lemm.ee ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    There’s no way around that unless we start spelling things a lot more differently around the English-speaking world. We have enough trouble with the relatively minor spelling differences between UK and US English as it is, increasing that confusion is far worse than having spelling decoupled from pronunciation.
