It's pretty cruel, particularly for non-native English speakers, that 'lose' and 'loose' seemingly switched spellings, meanings and pronunciations with each other when no one was looking

'Choose' rhymes with 'lose'? I mean c'mon, someone did that shit on purpose ๐
You're viewing a single thread.
May as well combine words with the same pronunciation into one word and call it Simplified English (/s)
Honestly tho, this is one of the features of Simplified Chinese, which created the infamous "fuck vegetables" (ๅนฒ่็ฑป).
It's meant to say "dried vegetables" (ไนพ่้ก in TC), but ไนพโๅนฒ. Meanwhile, there exists ๅนนโๅนฒ as well, which means "fuck".
So this is where I find cucumber?
Fuck as in curse or as an action?
Used in this context? Action. But it can mean both.
Even better :D
