If the pronounce a word wrong you kinda can hear their spelling mistake.

I thought of that. But there are momophones that you could experience.

Oh yeah I get this. Good shower thought.

Foreign language speakers experience misspellings in their non-primary language. Also being proficient and fluent is sometimes still never enough with the 2nd language -- since language itself is ever evolving.

And then there is (me) a lack of education. English only, 30+, put out a webcomic, crash-learn the apostrophe, and finding out just how grammar handicapped I was when I attempted to write screenplays.

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
