RE: https://toad.social/@wdlindsy/116471800574911741
there is no El Quijote without the emdash.
Cervantes had it published in 1605. that first chapter is considered THE MASTERPIECE of prose writing; and not just for its beauty. there’s whole polemics on his strategic use of the emdash and other orthographical marks because Cervantes literally established what we know as #prose #orthography with El Quijote.
technofascists have derided for so long the liberal arts ―to sell their lies of forever STEM jobs― that many are culturally illiterate.

Although I am easily distracted, it is never for nought. Today, I've been thinking of the orthography and morphology of Parsifal whilst trying to decide which version to run with.
My first 'real' encounter with Perceval was Chrétien de Troyes' unfinished version, but Wagner's version seems to have stuck with me.

An example of my Finnish-based orthography for British English (State Anthem of the Soviet Union):
Juunaitit voorevör in vrentsip änt leipör,
Aa maiti ripapliks vil evör intsuo.
Tii kreit Sovjet Juunjön vil liv truu tii eitsiis.
Tii triim ov ei piipöl, tee vootres sikjuo!(koorös:)
Lonk liv aa Sovjet matölänt,
Pilt pai tii piipöl's maiti hänt.
Lonk liv aa piipöl, juunaitit änt vrii!
Stronk in aa vrentsip trait pai vaa,
Lonk mei aa krimsön vläk inspaa,
Sainink in kloori voor ool men tuu sii!Truu teis taak änt stoomi vail kreit Lenin let as,
Aar ais soo tii prait san ov vriitöm öpav,
Änt Staalin, aa liitö, vit veit in tii piipöl,
Inspaat as tuu pilt ap tii länt tät vii lav!(koorös)
Vii voot voo tii vjuutsö, tistroit tii inveitör,
Änt proot tuu aa houmlänt tii loröls ov veim!
Aa kloori vil liv in tii mem'ri ov neisöns,
Änt ool tsen'reisöns vil onö höö neim!(koorös)

Is it just me and my neurodiverse brain, or does everyone notice minutiae like this – and then feel compelled to blog about it?

What sorcery is this? 🪄 I often catch myself typing 'anough' for 'enough'. It's also closer to how I pronounce it. I may adopt this spelling out of spite. Does this happen in other languages?

Я тут про́сто скажу́, як я почува́юся що́до сього́днішньої орѳоґрафії́. Вона́ жахли́ва. Чому́ ми не може́мо писа́ти на́голоси всю́ди, ну, у літерату́рі. Це дало́ би нам ле́гшу мо́ву.
А ще, "Пряма́ мо́ва — це жах", скажу́ я. -
Because my spelling is Wobbly. It’s good spelling but it Wobbles, and the letters get in the wrong places.
A. A. Milne (1882-1956) English poet and playwright [Alan Alexander Milne]

English orthography is insane. It's hard enough for those of us who are native speakers and we usually end up with reasonable spelling but there are exceptions. I would never ever assume someone with spelling errors was less intelligent or make fun of *them personally*. Yes make fun of the weirdness. So many people confuse 'desert' and 'dessert' making a joke about eating sand is fair game IMO. We all make tpyos. Laugh together not at people eh?
I put this in the same category as assuming people with a southern drawl are less intelligent. Stop it.

For anyone who's struggled with variable spelling practices before modern printing, there's a summary of what's "interchangeable" in Thomas Wright's Dictionary of Obsolete and Provincial English. 2 vols. London, 1857. #orthography #English #language #dialect #manuscripts #medieval
