why do so many people write "isaac" as "issac"? it's like an epidemic, probably more common as a misspelling than "micheal" at this point. i wonder what the reason behind that is...

I've observed in myself that typos involving double letters often involve doubling the wrong letter. It seems our brains store the information "double a letter" in some sense separately from the doubled letter.

@texttheater yeah, i do that frequently, too. also somtimes terribly wrong (even a firstgrader would spot) but equal sounding vowels. even in handwriting! its soo interesting.

apologies, I honestly thought the "fursona" angle was sufficiently original as opposed to "purrsonally" :f

by age 46 you should have a sizable collection of grammar pet peeves (about 50% of which are indicators of aging out of language as it is in common use, even if that common use is stupid as fuck)
I recently uploaded two new tracks to my soundcloud, and I've had multiple spammers/scammers reach out to declare their undying love for the tracks and offer their services listing it on all the marketplaces, etc. It really does feel like there's a normalized base level of this sort of thing almost everywhere on the web, like parasites, bacteria and viruses in the environment, just a constant pressure of hopeful little bloodsuckers. Every place needs some sort of immune system against these omnipresent threats (and usually, this is not something the platform does, so in effect they force their users into a defensive posture by default.) It's pretty dire, in my opinion.

ich fand es als kind immer sehr verwirrend, dass "der mensch hat gute nerven" (edit: oder auch "nerven wie stahlseile") das gleiche bedeutet hat wie "der hat keine nerven" (bzw "ein mensch ohne nerven"). aber letztere formulierung habe ich nun schon echt lange nicht mehr gesehen

as a little update on this, 2 weeks later, it seems to have worked a treat. the pigeons have, probably out of an abundance of caution and alternatives, decided to find a different balcony for early-morning vocalization, and I have not been disturbed in my sleep since.

ich will das eigentlich nicht, aber es geht mir so endlos auf den keks, wie selbstverständlich fast alle leute "scheinbar" statt "anscheinend" verwenden. ich habe so lange versucht, da still zu sein, aber es frisst mich auf. ich will die anschreien! was mich das schon an kraft gekostet hat, mich da zurück zu halten! ich muss vielleicht mal ne phase einlegen, in der ich mich unbeliebt mache und was dazu sage - einfach aus self care. falls ihr davon betroffen seid, nehmt es mir bitte nicht übel. und sagt einfach IMMER "anscheinend", dann seid ihr auf der sicheren seite.

Ich meine: »scheinbar« hat laut Duden (duden.de/suchen/dudenonline/sc…) beide Bedeutungen, »anscheinend« nur die schwächere, passt also in den Situationen nicht, in denen man sagen will, dass etwas nur zum Schein so ist, weil man dann ja eine schwächere Aussage trifft, als die, die man eigentlich treffen wollte (wenn auch zugegebenermaßen keine Aussage, die der intendierten widersprechen würde).

ja, der kampf ist wohl verloren. das macht es nicht besser, nur häufiger. "scheinbar" hat die schwächere zweitbedeutung nur deswegen im duden eingetragen bekommen, weil es genug leute nicht geschafft haben, die beiden begriffe auseinander zu halten. es ist ein armutszeugnis.
