    Might’ve evolved like that eventually if we hadn’t stopped writing and type-setting by hand instead of using magical misspelling detection machines with strict spelling rules.

    Midweek is superior anyway.

      I mean, spellings of words change all the time. Hell, when I was in school you’d lose points on papers for spelling “doughnut” as “donut”, but now that shorter version is concidered a correct spelling and is no longer tagged by spell check.

      We as a society can literally will this spelling to be concidered correct through shear usage.
