As a native, fuck that word. I also dislike spelling the word convenience.
Well...That is very convenient.
Acquaintance is that word for me. I just type 'aqu' and my phone handles the rest. God help me if I ever have to write that down without access to the internet. I also let my phone handle 'necessary' because I never know how many c's and s's there are and where they go.
bu·reauc·ra·cy
Yeah Webster, that doesn’t really help.
I wanna reauc 🤘
Reauc and reoull ain't noise pollution
Actually, the · are silent.
Glad I could help.

Jim Carrey is a treasure.
Wasn't it Bruce Almighty?
Yes it was, good call. I have such a clear image of ace ventura saying it in my head but that's clearly fabricated.
Easy mistake to make given Jim Carrey just plays Jim Carrey in both roles I guess.
Suns-day Moons-day Tyrs-day Wodens-day Thors-day Frias-day Saturns-day
You guys really have to stop starting weeks on the wrong day.
On Thursday? But I like Thor.
That's fine, we all like Thor.
I like how there are days for the sun and the moon, a bunch of nordic gods and then Saturn for some reason.
It wasn't enough that he got Saturnalia
They were all celestial bodies. The rest just got more myth attached to them. The Norse names are all sort of kinda mostly the equivalents of the Roman counterparts, and those are famously where we get the names for the planets.
Sunday
Moonday
Mercuryday
Jupiterday
Venusday
Saturnday
Ther wasn't a great Norse version of Saturn, so it just kept its name. Even as it is, some of those conversions are pretty flimsy.

I'd have still read it like that even without the dashes 😂
Honestly, if you don't say/think it like that your life is sad and I pity you with the utmost sincerety 😤🫶🏻.
