Bwog Staff Writer Will Lyman shares his thoughts on how the English language just got it wrong. 

We all have those moments: taking notes in class, typing at astronomical speeds, when you look down to see that nothing you typed made any sense. Red lines flood your google doc. You are a failure. But hey, I don’t know how to spell conscientious either. Those words that are just too hard to pin down should be changed. Because you will never get it right, and that’s okay. Here’s how we should spell them:

Bourgeoisie / Boorshwasee

Necessary / Necesary

Sacreligious / Sac, religious

February / FEBUARY

Because / Bcuz

Wednesday / wedNESday

Queue / Q

Unconscious / Unconch-shell

Governmental / gubermental

Occurred / Ocur’d (also past tense of the popular “okurrr”)

Receive / Reese Witherspoon

Accommodate / Acomod8

Vengeance / Vengents

Toast / Toast

Rhythm / rithim

Caribbean / Carry Bean

Nicki Minaj / la miki minach

Believe / s(he) be(lie)ve(d)

Hierarchy / Higher Archie

Hors d’oeuvres / what

Committee / CommiT

Tomorrow / tmro

Daiquiri / slushie 

Prescription / dismantle big pharma
