I'm more embarrassed about my calculator history. I use SpeedCrunch because it's amazing, but boy does it remind me how stupid I am. 7+14, really?

Is it ironic that while reading this post I noticed that rule 5 spells "incite" wrong?

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 9 points 20 hours ago

Title needs a word that doesn't fit:

"Sorry to austere you"

If you use DuckDuckGo, you can just type !wt wordyouwant. This takes you to the English Wiktionary entry (EDIT: I forgot to mention this language depends on your DDG locale), where Wiktionary is a (really rich and underappreciated) sister project to Wikipedia that acts as an every-language-to-English dictionary (or e.g. an every-language-to-French dictionary in the case of fr.wiktionary.org, etc.)

As an example of the first random word that came to mind: concentric

A reminder to fellow Kagi users - you can do the same! (all DDG bangs are supported, but you probably knew that already)

I use define:. Yesterday a friend asked me whether "stably" had an "e" in it and this was very helpful in answering.

edit: My edit wasn't relevant and my client confused me. Apologies to you.

I use it often to look up the etymology of words.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 5 points 20 hours ago

A lot of synonyms for me.

Search engines are better at figuring out my misspellings than the android keyboard. Lots of random misspelled words in my search history.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 5 points 14 hours ago

I love it when the android keyboard tries to tell me a word is spelled wrong when it defiantly isn't.

[–] SpankyDoodle@eviltoast.org 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

And porn. But yes, I do this a lot too and can absolutely relate.

[–] TheReanuKeeves@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago

I swear it's only because I keep forgetting if step-sister has a hyphen in or not.

So I can get accurate results when I type it in pornhub.

(I actually just googled step-sister because I genuinely didn't know if it has a hyphen. Apparently it is commonly written with and without the hyphen)

[–] Spaniard@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

porn noun

/pɔːn/

/pɔːrn/

[uncountable] (informal, disapproving)

​pornography (= magazines, DVDs, websites, etc. that describe or show naked people and sexual acts in order to make people feel sexually excited, especially in a way that many other people find offensive)

[–] kali_fornication@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

know what's extra hard? those common words that are like a verb + a preposition like "find out". i convince myself that the preposition i'm thinking of is wrong

[–] Funnynate08@fedia.io 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The amount of times I have to search how to spell "reccomending" is sad (for me)

[–] kubica@fedia.io 4 points 16 hours ago

Which reminds me how "commit" is right but "ammend" is wrong. I hate it.

[–] RaoulDuke85@piefed.social 3 points 20 hours ago

Restaurant for me.

Honestly, this has almost become a compulsive thing when reading. Nonstop looking up words.
