That’s particular simulator game actually has you saving the world from some sort of Alien UFO time traveler conspiracy plot though doesn’t it? It’s not quite as mundane as some other simulator games like farming or truck driving sims.
do we know that shoppers haven’t already returned to normal now that it’s out of the current news cycle?
Yeah man, otherwise we wouldn’t be participating in this conversation right?
Target was affected by boycotts in a way that other retailers are definitely aware of.
And my Lemmy app won’t let me edit my typos so it’s gonna be even harder to follow lol.
Just in pronunciation. Usually when you put the two O’s next to each other is affects the pronunciation of the O sound, as it does in chose/choose.
But for some reason the double O in lose/loose does not change the pronunciation of the vowel at all. It instead affects the pronunciation of the S to sound either like an “unvoiced S sound” or a “voiced Z sound.”
If I told you to pronounce “Loo” then we would all agree on what that would sound like, but if I told you to add a Z sound to the end of that “Loo” then you might say “hey you spelled lose wrong, it only has one O.”
That’s the exception to the rule that I was talking about. O sounds and OO sounds are pretty straightforward but they don’t work the way you would expect in the words “lose/loose”.
I don’t know if my explanation makes any sense if you don’t already understand what I’m talking about, but this is the reason so many people on the internet misspell the word “lose”.
The spelling of “lose/loose” is the exception to the common rule that words like “chose/choose” follow.
