🖊️ LanguageTool is my favorite writing utility (after Copilot). If you think my writing is half-eloquent, I owe at least 37% of that to LT. languagetool.org/

💣 Where do we sign the petition to change the pronunciation of “bomb” to “boom”?
If tomb is pronounced like toom, and womb is pronounced like woom, shouldn't bomb be pronounced boom?

💍 But “fiancé” and “fiancée” are homophones, meaning they’re pronounced identically. The difference in spelling (the extra ‘e’ at the end) comes from the French origin of the word, where nouns have gender-specific forms. #LanguageTool
Fiancé: engaged man & fiancée: engaged woman

ALT Fiancé: engaged man & fiancée: engaged woman

⚠️ FYI: “Chasm” is a noun that means: 
 1) A deep cleft in the earth, rock, or another surface. 2) A profound difference, separation, or division between people, perspectives, feelings, etc. #LanguageTool

Transitive verbs require direct objects. A direct object (which is a type of sentence ✨complement✨) is a noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb. For example, “bit” is a transitive verb. 🔹 The monkey bit the zookeeper.
What did the intransitive verb say when told it was pretty? Nothing. Intransitive verbs can't take complements.

A hyphenated phrase contains a hyphen, such as “full-time.” A non-hyphenated one does not. 🙃 #LanguageTool
