Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

cheque is the british spelling, and how we civilised Commonwealth countries spell it
Commonwealth countries:

That sounds fantastique.
"s" makes the sound in "snake". Use a "z" for the sound in "zebra" like a normal person :P
since when does english work with how things sound and not just how they're spelt because that's the rule? There's literally endless hours of content on youtube covering the idiosyncrasies of the language
Sorry, I don't subscribe to the "all-or-nothing" mentality. A little bit of sanity in spelling is better than no sanity in spelling :P
Right, like people who are still a century out of being curbstomped like France
Hey in what part of britain does flour rhyme with colour?
You sound like an Australian at McDonald’s correcting everyone on the pronounciation of ‘file(T) o fish’ like they invented it themselves.
