News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

So you all going to start spelling colour properly?
"Kolor"
KDE user, I presume
Only if ya pronounce solder right. Prouncing it solder instead of sodder is an attempt to Romanticize English because the island Saxons cant get it through their fucking skulls that they aren't infact Romans no matter how many Roman arefacts they kleptomaniacly take.
Since we're adding letters to words that aren't even pronounced and serve no purpose why not put an E at the end as well?
Remind me again how you pronounce "herbs" or "aunt" over there
You're right, those should also be changed. Let's get rid of the letter C too while we're at it. It makes the K sound or the S sound, we already have letters that do that, it's useless.
As great as reinventing the English language sounds, it's not realistically going to happen in a meaningful way, and making small regional changes (like the differences in the spelling of some words) is just confusing and annoying to everyone who isn't familiar with it or with English in general.
With your example of the letter C, you'd need some alternative way to write the "ch" sound (which is sometimes pronounced as "sh", depending on it's usage) if you got rid of that letter.
It's an ugly, messy, and confusing language. Popularising arbitrary changes like the ones Webster included in his dictionary (centre vs center, for example) serves no benefit to anyone - it just creates yet another variant of an ugly, messy, and confusing language.
I agree it would be difficult at first. There is precedent for it though, we've already gotten rid of thorn and ethel in the last few hundred years.
I have a plan, we use X. It most commonly makes the KS sound, we already have K and S to handle that. X is already used for the CH sound occasionally, so just lean into that and make it X's main role. "Xange the xannel please I hate Foks News"

No u It's color
