India Today: Google Maps changed UP village name, now govt work is literally lost in translation. “The village in Uttar Pradesh’s Firozabad’s district is called Akalabad Hasanpur, but Google Maps lists it as Akilabad Hanspur — a minor difference in spelling that residents say has created major confusion.”

I use to be ashamed or not happy about my spelling mistakes and habit of not being able to write proper spellings, but now I feel like this might be what I need to keep having. This gives my messages a uniqueness that they are not perfect, they are not accurate, they are not just ai generated.
dont get me wrong I do use ai, I do use spell checks but now I am less worried about a spelling mistake I made while typing a response coz I am sure other person will immediately realised I actually wrote it coz I did a spelling mistake.

There are lots of tips for #writers about do this and don't do that, but one thing that is very important is to be aware of homophones.
There and Their are common ones but there are actually a lot more (depending on your accent) than you might first realise.
course/coarse, hanger/hangar, led/lead, etc.
It's so very easy to miss these, even if you know the correct spelling.
Not only that, there are also words of similar spelling that mean very different things. I posted a toot the other day about the words Torturous and Tortuous. But there are also things like Tentative and Attentive.
And stupid spellcheck won't spot any of these!
Stupid spellcheck.
